      where VIDIATION’s End User Agreement must be in writing and signed by the End
      User in order to be effective, the Software Copies may not be distributed unless

    3.9
       VIDIATION’s
      Intellectual Property Rights.
      The
      Product, Software Copies and all related documentation are protected under
      patent and/or copyright and/or trade secret laws and contain proprietary
      information of VIDIATION and/or its licensors. RESELLER shall abide by the
      terms
      of any proprietary notices or markings, and shall use the documentation and
      the
      Software Copies only for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, and shall
      not disclose to others or reproduce the Product (except as specifically
      permitted under this Agreement), unless specifically authorized by VIDIATION,
      and shall be liable for all loss or damage to VIDIATION from any failure to
      so
      abide or from any unauthorized disclosure by RESELLER, its agents or End Users
      of the Product, Software Copies or related documentation. RESELLER shall not
      translate any portion of the Software Copies or associated documentation into
      any other format or language without the prior written consent of VIDIATION.
      In
      the event such translation is made by RESELLER, RESELLER shall grant to
      VIDIATION all right, title and interest in any such translation or, if
      applicable, an exclusive, royalty free license to exploit any copyright or
      other

    3.11
       Restrictions
      On Use of Confidential Information and VIDIATION’s Intellectual Property and
      Technology.
      Except
      as specifically permitted by this Agreement, RESELLER shall not directly or
      indirectly (i) use any Confidential Information of VIDIATION to create any
      computer software program or user documentation which is substantially similar
      to any Product; (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile, or otherwise
      attempt to derive the source code for, any Product; (iii) encumber, timeshare,
      rent or lease the rights granted by this Agreement; or (iv) copy, manufacture,

      or
      End User of RESELLER to engage in similar conduct. The Parties acknowledge
      that
      money damages will not be an adequate remedy if this Section is breached and
      therefore, VIDIATION may, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies,
      seek an injunction or similar equitable relief against any such
      breach.

     

    3.12

    3.13 Compliance
      With Export Laws and Regulations.
      Any and
      all obligations of VIDIATION to provide the Products, as well as any technical
      assistance, will be subject in all respects to such United States laws and
      regulations as will from time to time govern the license and deliver of
      technology and products abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction of the
      United States, including the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,
      any
      successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations issued by
      the
      Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. RESELLER warrants
      that
      it will not export or re-export the Product, Software Copies or any Confidential
      Information or a Solution, or technical data related thereto, except in
      conformity with such laws and regulations. RESELLER agrees that unless prior
      written authorization is obtained from the Bureau of Export Administration
      or
      the Export Administration Regulations explicitly permit the re-export without
      such written authorization, it will not export, re-export, or transship,
      directly or indirectly, the Product, Software Copies or any Confidential
      Information or a Solution to country groups S or Z (as defined in the export
      Administration Regulations), or to any other country as to which the U.S.

    If
      at any
      time VIDIATION determines in its sole discretion that the laws of any country
      are or become insufficient to protect VIDIATION’s intellectual or proprietary
      rights in the Products, VIDIATION reserves the right to restrict or terminate
      RESELLER’s rights to use Products, Software Copies or distribute Software Copies
      or Confidential Information in that country. RESELLER shall take all actions
      reasonable necessary to enforce this restriction to protect VIDIATION’s
      rights.

     

    3.14
       U.S.
      Government Sales.
      This
      provision applies to all Products, and Software Copies acquired directly or
      indirectly by or on behalf of the United States Government. The Products and
      Software Copies are commercial products, licensed on the open market at market
      prices, and were developed entirely at private expense and without the use
      of
      any U.S. Government funds. If the Products or Software Copies are supplied
      to
      the Department of Defense, the U.S. Government acquires only the license rights
      customarily provided to the public and specified in this Agreement. If the
      Products or Software Copies are supplied to any unit or agency of the U.S.
      Government other than the Department of Defense, the license to the U.S.
      Government is granted only with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or
      disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to the restrictions set forth
      in
      subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights clause
      of
      FAR 52.227-19.

     

    3.15
       VIDIATION
      Trademark.
      During
      the term of this Agreement, RESELLER shall have the right to use the VIDIATION
      Trademarks in accordance with Section 3.1, provided that upon thirty (30) days
      prior written notice, VIDIATION may substitute alternative marks for any or
      all
      of the VIDIATION Trademarks. All representations of VIDIATION Trademarks that
      RESELLER intends to use shall first be submitted to VIDIATION for approval
      (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of design, color and other details,
      or shall be exact copies of those used by VIDIATION. In addition, RESELLER
      shall
      fully comply with all reasonable guidelines, if any, communicated by VIDIATION
      concerning the use of VIDIATION Trademarks.

     

    RESELLER
      will not alter or remove any of the VIDIATION Trademarks applied to the
      Software, Products or User Documentation by VIDIATION. Except for the
      authorization set forth in this Section 3.13, nothing herein grants or will
      be
      deemed to grant to RESELLER any right, title or interest in VIDIATION
      Trademarks. All uses of the VIDIATION Trademarks will inure solely to VIDIATION,
      and RESELLER shall obtain no rights with respect to any of these VIDIATION
      Trademarks, other than the right to distribute the Products and Software Copies
      as set forth herein, and RESELLER irrevocably assigns to VIDIATION all such
      right, title and interest, if any, in any VIDIATION Trademarks. At no time
      during the term of this Agreement will RESELLER challenge or assist others
      in
      challenging the VIDIATION Trademarks or the registration thereof, or attempt
      to
      register any trademarks, marks or trade names confusingly similar to those
      of
      VIDIATION. Upon termination of this Agreement, RESELLER shall immediately cease
      to use any and all of the VIDIATION Trademarks.

      VIDIATION and RESELLER shall mutually hold its officers, directors, agents

      court judgment on account of such third party’s claim of infringement by the
      Products of any U.S. patent issued as of the date of the first copy of the
      applicable Product or Software Copies, or any copyright, trademark or trade
      secret, provided VIDIATION is promptly notified of any and all threats, claims

      opportunity to assume sole control over the defense and all negotiations for
      a
      settlement or compromise; VIDIATION will not be responsible for any settlement
      it does not approve in writing. THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ANY WARRANTIES

      accordance to RESELLER specifications, (iii) which are modified after shipment
      by RESELLER, if the alleged infringement relates to such modification, (iv)

      infringement relates to such combination, (v) where RESELLER continues allegedly
      infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of

      RESELLER’s use of the Products or Software is incident to an infringement not
      resulting primarily from the Products or is not strictly in accordance with
      the
      License.

      RESELLER’s sole remedy for VIDIATION’s breach of Section 5.1(ii) is outlined

      Products.

      RESELLER
      and VIDIATION shall, at their own expense, indemnify, defend, save and hold

      and against any claim, loss, expense, or judgment (including reasonable
      attorneys fees) which arises (i) from any warranties granted in excess of those
      made by VIDIATION in this Agreement, (ii) inadequate installation maintenance
      or
      support of the Products or Software Copies by RESELLER; (iii) the marketing
      of
      the Products or Software Copies by RESELLER; or (iv) from infringement by the
      Applications or solutions or any material supplied by RESELLER of any patent,

    (a) RESELLER
      shall pay to VIDIATION a license fee (“License Fee”) for Products licensed
      hereunder, as set forth in Appendix B.

     

    (b) RESELLER
      acknowledges and agrees that all fees payable by RESELLER to VIDIATION for
      Products or Software Copies resold by RESELLER hereunder shall be based upon
      the
      number of embedded Software Copies or Products distributed by RESELLER with
      its
      Applications. Each payment shall be accompanied by the corresponding Copy Record
      as described in this Section 8. RESELLER shall have the right to set the fees
      it
      charges to End Users in its sole discretion.

      Software Copy manufactured, distributed or sold by RESELLER, RESELLER shall
      maintain complete and accurate records (“Copy Records”) indicating for each
      quarter: the Product name and the number of licenses resold. Within 30 business
      days of the end of each quarter, RESELLER shall deliver to VIDIATION the Copy
      Records applicable to that quarter in a report in the form of Appendix E
      accompanied by any additional payment due to VIDIATION relating to such Copy
      Records.

     

    (d) No

      notice, VIDIATION may audit all records of RESELLER relating to this Agreement
      during RESELLER’s normal business hours. If an audit reveals that the amount
      which should have been paid to VIDIATION is at least five percent (5%) more
      than
      the amount reported by RESELLER, RESELLER shall pay the cost of the audit to
      VIDIATION. Any shortfall uncovered as a result of an audit as well as the cost
      of the audit, if required by the preceding sentence, shall be paid by RESELLER
      to VIDIATION within 30 days of the date VIDIATION notifies RESELLER that an
      amount is due.

     

    (e) RESELLER
      shall pay any amounts owed to VIDIATION on the first day of the second month
      of
      each quarter according to the schedule in Appendix E. The amounts owed must
      be
      paid in full. Any amount that is recognized by RESELLER above the minimum
      commitments specified in the Schedule in Appendix E, may be rolled forward
      for a
      maximum of one (1) quarter and according to the terms of this Agreement. Each
      party is solely responsible for its own expenses incurred in the performance
      of
      this Agreement. If RESELLER fails to make any payment when due, and upon 10
      days
      advance written notice, this Agreement will terminate.

     

    (f) Payments
      will be in United States dollars. Any overdue amount shall bear interest at
      a
      rate of eight percent (8%) per annum or the maximum rate allowed by law if
      less.
      Costs of conversion, outside collection and related bank charges shall be paid
      by RESELLER. RESELLER shall be responsible for all taxes, tariffs and
      transportation costs related to this Agreement (including any value added or
      sales taxes) other than taxes measured by or in relation to VIDIATION’s income.
      All shipments by VIDIATION shall be F.O.B. origin. Risk of loss and damage
      will
      pass to RESELLER upon delivery to a shipper at VIDIATION’s
      facility.

    11.6 Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement, including all attachments, exhibits and appendices, is the complete
      and exclusive statement of the parties to this Agreement on these subjects,
      and
      supersedes all prior written or oral proposals and understandings relating
      thereto. Except as otherwise provided, this Agreement may only be modified
      by a
      writing signed by an authorized officer of each of the parties. This Agreement
      takes precedence over any purchase order issued by RESELLER, which is accepted
      by VIDIATION for administrative convenience only. To the extent there is a
      conflict between this Agreement and the End User Agreement, the terms of this
      Agreement control. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
      provision of this Agreement is invalid, the remainder of the Agreement will
      continue in full force and effect. The offending provision shall be interpreted
      to whatever extent possible to give effect to its stated intent.

     

    11.7 No
      Waiver.
      Failure
      to require performance of any provisions or waiver of a breach of a provision
      does not waive a party’s right to subsequently require full and proper
      performance of that provision. Singular terms will be construed as plural,
      and
      vice versa. Section headings are for convenience only and will not be considered
      part of this Agreement.

     

    11.8 Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut without giving
      effect to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on
      Contracts for the International Sales of Goods will not apply to this Agreement.
      VIDIATION may seek to enforce or prevent a breach of any term of this Agreement
      in the appropriate courts of any state or country in which the Products are
      deployed by RESELLER or in which RESELLER maintains an office. The prevailing
      party in any suit under this Agreement shall recover all costs, expenses and
      reasonable attorney fees incurred in such action. Nothing in this Agreement
      will
      be deemed a waiver by either party of any and all available legal or equitable
      remedies.

    Section
      5. Effect
      of Termination of Employment.
      The
      terms and conditions of this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the
      end
      of the Employment Term, or earlier, based on the following
      circumstances:

    

    (a) Without
      “Cause”. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the
      Company may terminate the Employee’s employment hereunder for any reason or for
      no reason, at any time during the Employment Term, effective upon delivery
      of
      two (2) days notice by the Company. In the event the Employee's employment
      terminates during the Employment Term, due to a Without Cause Termination (as
      hereinafter defined), the Employee, in exchange for a complete release and
      waiver, releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal
      claims, shall receive an amount equal to his Base Salary then in effect for
      the
      remainder of the Employment Term or for twelve (12) months, whichever is longer
      (the “Severance Period”) plus (i) any Base Salary already earned and accrued
      under this Agreement prior to the effective date of termination; (ii)
      reimbursement under this Agreement for expenses pursuant to Section 4 incurred
      prior to the effective date of termination; and (iii) all vested benefits under
      the Company’s plans and programs, subject to the terms of such plans and
      programs (together, the “Severance Payments”). The Severance Payments will be
      made, at the Company’s option, in a lump sum or ratably over the Severance
      Period, with such determination made by the Company within seven (7) days after
      receipt of the executed release and waiver. The Employee agrees and acknowledges
      that he shall be entitled to any and all payments (or future payments) under
      this Section 5(a) so long as he is not in violation of Section 7 of this
      Agreement, set forth below. To the extent that the Employee is in violation
      of
      his agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 6 and 7 he shall not be
      entitled to any payment or future payment under this Section 5(a). 

    

    (b) Termination
      upon Death, Disability, or Cause. This Agreement shall terminate upon the
      Employee’s death, disability or Cause (as hereinafter defined). If one of these
      events shall occur, the Employee shall have no right to receive any compensation
      or benefit other than (i) any Base Salary already earned and accrued under
      this
      Agreement prior to the effective date of termination; (ii) reimbursement under
      this Agreement for expenses pursuant to Section 4 incurred prior to the
      effective date of termination; and (iii) all vested benefits under the Company’s
      plans and programs, subject to the terms of such plans and
      programs.

    

    (c) Voluntary
      Resignation. The Employee may terminate his employment hereunder at any time
      during the Employment Term subject only to the requirement that the Employee
      shall provide the Company with a minimum of thirty (30) days prior written
      notice. In the event of a voluntary termination (resignation) by Employee,
      the
      Company will have no obligation to Employee other than to pay Employee any
      earned and accrued Based Salary and the value of any earned, accrued, unused
      vacation. Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a
      voluntary resignation (i) he will not be entitled to any other type of
      compensation or benefits under this Agreement and (ii) that the compensation
      and
      benefits that he received under this Agreement prior to his voluntary
      termination were good and sufficient consideration for him to have to completely
      and fully abide with his covenants and agreements set forth in Section 7 below
      concerning non-competition and non-soliciation.

    (d) With
      “Good Reason”. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
      the Employee may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined
      hereinafter), subject to the requirement that the Employee shall provide the
      Company with a minimum of two (2) weeks prior written notice. In the event
      that
      the Company does not cure said Good Reason, the Employee shall be entitled
      to
      receive the Severance Payments in exchange for a complete release and waiver,
      releasing the Company of any and all legal claims or potential legal claims.
      The
      Employee agrees and acknowledges that he shall be entitled to any and all
      payments (or future payments) under this Section 5(d) so long as he is not
      in
      violation of Section 7 of this Agreement, set forth below. To the extent that
      the Employee is in violation of his agreements and covenants set forth in
      Sections 6 and 7 he shall not be entitled to any payment or future payment
      under
      this Section 5(d). 

    

    (e) If
      a
      Change in Control (defined below) is consummated during the Term of this
      Agreement and (A) Employee is terminated immediately prior to or in connection
      with such Change of Control; or (B) within six months immediately following
      such
      Change in Control, Employee either (i) is terminated Without Cause or (ii)
      resigns for Good Reason, then the Company (or the surviving entity, as the
      case
      may be) shall pay Employee the Severance Payments for an amount equal to his
      Base Salary then in effect for the remainder of the Employment Term or for
      twelve (12) months, whichever is longer.

    

    (f) For
      purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following
      meanings:

    

    (i)
      The
      term “Termination for Cause” means, to the maximum extent permitted by
      applicable law, a termination of the Employee's employ-ment by the Company

      his duties and such breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing,
      willful misconduct or recklessness, (b) committed an act of dishonesty in the
      performance of his duties hereunder or engaged in conduct detrimental to the
      business of the Company, (c) been convicted of a felony or any crime involving
      moral turpitude, (d) materially breached or materially failed to perform his
      obligations and duties hereunder, which breach or failure the Employee shall
      fail to remedy within 30 days after written demand from the Company, or (e)
      violated in any material respect the representations made in Section above
      or
      the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 below.

    

    (ii) The
      term
“Without Cause Termination” means a termination of the Employee’s employment by
      the Company other than due to expiration of the Employment Term and other than
      a
      Termination for Cause.

     

    (iii) The
      term
“Good Reason” means, the occurrence, without the Employee’s written consent, of
      any of the following: (i) a significant change in the nature or scope of the
      Employee’s duties from those described in Section 2 above, including a material
      demotion or any assignment of duties materially and adversely inconsistent
      with
      Employees position as Chief Executive Officer (except in connection with the
      termination of Employee’s employment for Death, Disability or Cause); (ii) a
      failure by the Company to pay to the Employee any amounts due under this
      Agreement or provide any benefits in accordance with the terms hereof, which
      failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days following receipt by the Company
      of notice from the Employee of such failure; or (iii) a relocation of the
      Company’s corporate headquarters more than sixty-five (65) miles from Employee’s
      current residence as of the date hereof (iv) any other material breach by the

      consolidation or reorganization, unless securities representing more than fifty
      percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of
      the
      successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly
      or
      indirectly and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who
      beneficially owned the Company's outstanding voting securities immediately
      prior
      to such transaction; or (b) any transfer, sale or other disposition of all
      or
      substantially all of the Company's assets; or (c) the acquisition, directly
      or
      indirectly, by any person or related group of persons (other than the Company

      common control with, the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning
      of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities

      of
      the Company's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer
      made
      directly to the Company's beneficial holders; provided, however, in no event
      shall a Change in Control be deemed to occur in connection with any public
      offering of Common Stock, the primary purpose of which is to raise
      capital.

      is providing wireless carriers with comprehensive real estate site acquisition
      and zoning services, radio frequency and network design engineering,
      infrastructure equipment construction and installation, radio transmission
      base
      station modification and project management services. The Employee further
      recognizes and acknowledges that all information pertaining to the affairs,
      business, clients, or customers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
      affiliates (any or all of such affairs, business, clients, and customers
      hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Business"), as such information
      may
      exist from time to time, other than information that the Company has previously
      made publicly available, is confidential information and is a unique and
      valuable asset of the Business, access to and knowledge of which are essential
      to the performance of the Employee's duties under this Agreement. In
      consideration of the payments and obligations made to him hereunder, the
      Employee shall not at any time, except to the extent reasonably necessary in
      the
      performance of his duties under this Agreement, divulge to any person, firm,
      association, corporation, or governmental agency, any information concerning
      the
      affairs, businesses, clients, or customers of the Business (except such
      information as is required by law to be divulged to a government agency or
      pursuant to lawful process), or make use of any such information for his own
      purposes or for the benefit of any person, firm, association or corporation
      (except the Business) and shall use his reasonable best efforts to prevent
      the
      disclosure of any such information by others. All records, memoranda, letters,
      books, papers, reports, accountings, or other data, and other records and
      documents relating to the Business, whether made by the Employee or otherwise
      coming into his possession, are confidential information and are, shall be,
      and
      shall remain the property of the Business. No copies thereof shall be made
      which
      are not retained by the Business, and the Employee agrees, on termination of
      his
      employment or on demand of the Company, to deliver the same to the
      Company.

      the
      event of a termination pursuant to this Section 5, the Employee will be entitled

    Section
      7. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

    

    (a) (i)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that as a result of his employment by the Company, the
      Employee (1) will acquire knowledge of the trade and proprietary and
      confidential information as to the business of the Company and its Affiliates
      and (2) will create relationships with customers, suppliers and other persons
      dealing with the Company and its Affiliates. The Employee further acknowledges
      and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates will suffer substantial damage,
      which would be difficult to ascertain and is not compensable by monetary
      damages, if the Employee should use such trade secrets or other proprietary
      and
      confidential information or take advantage of such relationship and that because
      of the nature of the information that will be known to the Employee and the
      relationships created, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates to
      be
      protected by the prohibition against Competition as set forth
      herein.

    

    (ii)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that the retention of non-clerical employees employed
      by
      the Company and its Affiliates in which the Company and its Affiliates have
      invested training and depend on for the operation of their businesses is
      important to the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates, that the Employee
      will obtain unique information as to such employees and will develop unique
      relationships with such persons as a result of being an employee of the Company
      and, therefore, it is necessary for the Company and its Affiliates to be
      protected from the Employee’s Solicitation (as defined below) of such employees
      as set forth below.

    

    (iii)
      The
      Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement are reasonable
      and
      necessary for the protection of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates
      and that part of the compensation paid under this Agreement and the agreement
      to
      pay compensation upon termination in certain instances is in consideration
      for
      the agreements and covenants in this Section 7.

      stock of a publicly help company; or (ii) any activity engaged in with the
      prior
      written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company.

    

    (ii) For
      the
      purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Business” shall mean any line of business
      engaged in by the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/for any entity in which
      the Company and/or its subsidiaries holds securities (other than entities in

    (iii) For
      the
      purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” of the Company shall mean any business,
      entity, partnership, corporation, or subsidiary directly or indirectly

      with respect to the Company, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly,
      of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies

      the
      Company or its Affiliates or hiring or assisting another person or entity to
      hire any non-clerical employee of the Company or its Affiliates or any person
      who within twelve (12) months before had been a non-clerical employee of the

      Solicitation shall not include any of the foregoing activities engaged in with
      the prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the
      Company.

    

    (c) If
      any
      restriction set forth with regard to Non-Competition or Non-Solicitation is
      found by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in arbitration, to be
      unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too
      great
      a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be interpreted
      to amend over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic
      area
      as to which it may be enforceable. If any provision of this Section shall be
      declared to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, as a result of
      the
      foregoing, as a result of public policy or for any other reason, such invalidity
      shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Section 7, which shall remain
      in full force and effect.

      Employee’s employment for any reason whatsoever, whether by the Company or by

    (e) During
      the Employment Term and for the Restricted Period (as hereafter defined)
      following a termination of Employee’s employment, Employee will not enter into
      Competition with the Company. The “Restricted Period” shall mean (i) for a
      termination with Cause, two (2) years following the date of termination, (ii)
      for termination without Cause by the Company, or for Good Reason by the
      Employee, the Severance Period, (iii) for termination as a result of the
      voluntary resignation by the Employee without Good Reason, one (1) year from

      date of termination, and (iv) for termination of employment under any
      circumstances after the expiration of the Employment Term, one (1) year from
      the
      date of termination. The Employee expressly agrees and acknowledges that his
      promises, obligations, and covenants under Section 6 above, and this Section
      7,
      survive the Employment Term identified in Section 1. 

    

    (f) In
      the
      event of a breach or potential breach of Section 7, Employee acknowledges that
      the Company and its Affiliates will be caused irreparable injury and that money
      damages may not be an adequate remedy and agree that the Company and its
      Affiliates shall be entitled to injunctive relief (in addition to its other
      remedies at law) to have the provisions of Sections 7 enforced. It is hereby
      acknowledged that the provisions of Section 7 are for the benefit of the Company
      and all of the Affiliates of the Company and each such entity may enforce the
      provisions of Sections 7 and only the applicable entity can waive the rights
      hereunder with respect to its confidential information and
      employees.

    

    (g) Furthermore,
      in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies provided herein
      or at
      law or in equity, in the event of a breach of Section 7 by the Employee, while
      he is receiving compensation or benefits under Section 5 above, the Employee
      shall not be entitled to receive any future amounts pursuant to Section 5 (a)
      or
      (d) hereof and shall reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid
      to
      the Employee pursuant to Section 5(a) or (d) hereof.

    

    (h) The
      Company's obligation to make payments, or provide for any benefits under this
      Agreement (except to the extent vested or exercisable) shall cease upon a
      violation of the preceding provisions of this section. 

    

    Section
      8. Acknowledgment. The
      Employee acknowledges that he has carefully read and considered all of the
      restraints imposed pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 and that each and every one
      of
      said restraints is reasonable in respect to subject matter, length of time
      and
      area. The Employee further acknowledges that damages at law would not be a
      measurable or adequate remedy for a breach of Sections 6 and 7 (non-solicitation
      and non-competition), and accordingly consents to the entry by any court of
      competent jurisdiction of order enjoining him from violating any of such
      covenants. If any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 and/or 7 are held
      to
      be invalid or unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the
      area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination
      shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and
      in
      its reduced form said provision shall then be enforceable.

    Section
      9. Withholdings.
      The
      Company may directly or indirectly withhold from any payments made under this
      Agreement all Federal, state, city or other taxes and all other deductions
      authorized by the Employee or by law. 

    

    Section
      10. Consolidation,
      Merger or Sale of Assets.
      Nothing
      in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging
      into
      or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, or engaging
      in any other business combination with, any other person or entity which assumes
      this Agreement and all obligations and undertakings of the Company hereunder.
      Upon such a consolidation, merger, transfer of assets or other business
      combination and assumption, the term “Company” used herein shall mean such other
      person or entity and this Agreement shall continue in full force and
      effect.

    

    Section
      11. Indemnification.

      or

      this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The covenants set forth in Sections
      6
      and 7 of this Agreement shall be deemed and construed as separate agreements
      independent of any other provision of this Agreement. The existence of any
      claim
      or cause of action by Employee against Company, whether predicated on this
      Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by
      Company of any or all covenants. It is expressly agreed that the remedy at
      law
      for the breach or any such covenant is inadequate and that injunctive relief
      shall be available to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof.
