AT WILL.

 

Dendrite
hereby employs the Employee as, an at-will employee. This employment may be
terminated at any time for any reason by Dendrite or by the Employee unless
there is a separate written agreement setting forth a specific term. As a

various locations throughout the world. The Employee shall devote his/her full
time and best effort to the duties assigned to him/her which he/she shall
faithfully and diligently perform. The Employee shall report to Dendrite as may
be required and will fully account for all records, data, materials or other
property belonging to Dendrite or its customers of which he/she is given
custody. Dendrite may, form time to time, establish rules and regulations and
the Employee shall faithfully observe these in the performance of his/her
duties.

 

3.                                       COMPENSATION.

upon the submission by the
Employee of appropriate documentation and verification of the expenses;

 

C.             Life

5.                                       INFORMATION
AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

 

During the
term of his/her employment by Dendrite, the Employee may acquire knowledge of

Dendrite that information or business opportunity but shall not disclose it to
anyone else without Dendrite’s written consent.

 

6.                                       DENDRITE
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

It is
anticipated that the Employee will, as a result of his/her employment with
Dendrite, acquire information which is proprietary and confidential to
Dendrite. This information includes, but is not limited to technical and
commercial information, customer lists, financial arrangement, competitive
status, pricing policies, knowledge of suppliers, technical capabilities and
other business affairs relating to Dendrite. It also includes technical
information involving Dendrite’s work. The Employee will keep all such

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

from time to time, be furnished information and data which

 

 

is proprietary and confidential
to its clients, customers or suppliers. The Employee will not, at any time for
any reason, reveal any information provided by any of Dendrite’s clients,
customers or suppliers to anyone, unless provided with prior written consent by

inventions may be conceived or implemented during or outside business hours and
may not be connected with Dendrite’s business.

 

The Employee
will notify Dendrite of the idea, discovery or invention no matter where it was
conceived or implemented.

 

If the idea,
discovery or invention is connected with or related to Dendrite’s business, it
will be Dendrite’s property and the Employee shall assign to Dendrite all
rights to the idea, discovery or invention. If it is patentable, the Employee shall
assign any patent application (or patent issued on the

 

 

application) to Dendrite.

 

If the idea,
discovery or invention is not connected or related to Dendrite’s business, it
will belong to the Employee. Dendrite, however, shall have a right of first
refusal to the idea, discovery or invention which will be offered by the
Employee to Dendrite upon the same terms and conditions as are offered to the
Employee by anyone else.

 

The Employee
shall sign all documents and perform any act which Dendrite reasonably requests
in connection with a patent application or the issuance of patents anywhere in
the world. Dendrite shall, however, pay all expenses.

 

If the
copyright laws apply to any covered idea or invention (including software or
software enhancements). It shall be considered a work made for hire under the
copyright laws and shall be the exclusive property of Dendrite.

 

If the
Employee conceives any idea, make any discovery or invention within one year
after the termination of employment with Dendrite that relate to any matters
pertaining to the business of Dendrite, it shall be deemed that it was
conceived while in the employ of Dendrite.

 

The Employee
irrevocably appoints Dendrite or its authorized representative his/her
attorney-in-fact to sign any documents necessary to carry out the purpose and
intent of this section.

 

10.                                 RESTRICTION
ON FUTURE EMPLOYMENT.

 

A.                                   The
Employee agrees that in the event employment with Dendrite is terminated, for
any reason, with or without cause, the Employee shall not for three years after
termination of employment.

 

a.                                       Render
services to any organization or entity, or perform services that compete with
Dendrite in any area of the United States of America

 

 

or elsewhere where Dendrite does business or in any area in which
Dendrite plans to perform services within one year after termination of
employment;

 

b.                                      Solicit
any customers or potential customers of Dendrite with whom the Employee had
contact while employed by Dendrite or who was a customer of Dendrite at any time
during the two years immediately before termination;

 

c.                                       Request
that any of Dendrite’s customers or suppliers discontinue doing business with
it;

 

d.                                      Knowingly
take any action which would disparage Dendrite or be to its disadvantage;

 

e.                                       Attempt
to solicit any employee or contractor of Dendrite to terminate employment with
Dendrite.

 

B.                                     In
recognition that the restrictions set forth in this section may impose a
hardship on the Employee. Dendrite will pay to the Employee one year’s base
salary at Dendrite’s discretion. The payments, however, shall be paid in equal
monthly installments over two years provided that the Employee remains
unemployed.  The Employee shall use his
best efforts to obtain other employment not prohibited by this Agreement. If
the Employee becomes employed at any time during the first two years after
his/her termination, these payments shall be discontinued. Payments shall also
be discontinued upon the Employee’s becoming entitled to receive any payment
from any retirement program established by Dendrite. Under no circumstances,
however, may the Employee choose to work for a competitor and forego the
payments provided for in this section.

 

C.                                     If
Dendrite chooses not to make the payments set forth in Section 10 paragraph B
above, then the employee will be free of any restrictions stated in said
paragraph.

 

 

11.                                 REMEDIES.

 

The parties
agree that in the event the Employee breaches or threatens to breach this
Agreement, money damages may be an inadequate remedy for Dendrite and that Dendrite
will not have an adequate remedy at law. It is understood, therefore, that in
the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Employee, Dendrite shall have
the right to obtain from a court of competent jurisdiction restraints or
injunctions prohibiting the Employee from breaching or threatening to breach
this Agreement. In that event, the parties agree that Dendrite will not be
required to post bond or other security. It is also agreed that any restraints
or injunctions issued against the Employee shall be in addition to any other
remedies which Dendrite may have available to it.

 

12.                                 APPLICABLE
LAW.

 

This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New Jersey.

 

13.                                 NOTICES.

10.                               RESTRICTION
ON FUTURE EMPLOYMENT

 

Employee
acknowledges (i) the highly competitive nature of the business and the industry
in which Dendrite competes; (ii) that as a key employee of Dendrite he/she has
participated in and will continue to participate in the servicing of current
clients and/or the solicitation of prospective clients, through which, among
other things, Employee has obtained and will continue to obtain knowledge of
the “know-how” and business practices of Dendrite, in which matters Dendrite
has a substantial proprietary interest; (iii) that his/her employment hereunder
requires the performance of services which are special, unique, extraordinary
and intellectual in character, and his/her position with Dendrite placed and
places him/her in a position of confidence and trust with the clients and
employees of Dendrite; and (iv) that his/her rendering of services to the
clients of Dendrite necessarily requires the disclosure Employee of
confidential information (as described in paragraph 6 above) of Dendrite.  In the course of the Employee’s employment
with Dendrite, Employee has and will continue to develop a personal
relationship with the clients of Dendrite and a knowledge of those clients’
affairs and requirements, and that the relationship of Dendrite with their
established clientele will therefore be placed in Employee’s hands in
confidence and trust.  Employee
consequently agrees that it is reasonable and necessary for the protection of
the confidential information, goodwill and business of Dendrite that Employee
makes the covenants contained herein and that Dendrite would not have entered
into this Agreement unless the covenants set forth in this paragraph 10 were
contained in this Agreement. 
Accordingly, Employee agrees that during the period that he/she is
employed by Dendrite and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, he/she shall
not, as an individual, employee, consultant, partner, shareholder, or in
association with any other person, business or enterprise, except on behalf of
Dendrite, directly or indirectly, and regardless of the reason for his/her ceasing
to be employed by Dendrite:

 

(i)                                     perform
services that compete with the business or businesses conducted by Dendrite or
any of its affiliates or render services to any person or entity which competes
with the business or businesses conducted by Dendrite or any of its affiliates
(or which business Dendrite can at the time of Employee’s termination of

 

4

 

employment
establish it will likely conduct within one (1) year following the date of
Employee’s termination);

 

(ii)                                  attempt
in any manner to solicit or accept from any client business of the type
performed by Dendrite or to persuade any client to cease to do business or to
reduce the amount of business which any such client has customarily done or is
reasonably expected to do with Dendrite, whether or not the relationship
between Dendrite and such client was originally established in whole or in part
through Employee’s efforts;

 

(iii)                               employ,
attempt to employ or assist anyone else in employing any employee or contractor
of Dendrite or induce or attempt to induce any employee or contractor of
Dendrite to terminate their employment or engagement with Dendrite; or

 

(iv)                              render
to or for any client any services of the type rendered by Dendrite.

 

As used in this
paragraph 10, the term “client” shall mean (1) anyone who is a client of
Dendrite on the date of Employee’s termination or, if Employee’s employment
shall not have terminated, at the time of the alleged prohibited conduct (any
such applicable date being called the “Determination Date”); (2) anyone who was
a client of Dendrite at any time during the one (1) year period immediately
preceding the Determination Date; (3) any prospective client to whom Dendrite
had made a new business presentation (or similar offering of services) at any
time during the one (1) year period immediately preceding the Determination
Date; and (4) any prospective client to whom Dendrite made a new business
presentation (or similar offering of services) at any time within six (6) months
after the date of Employee’s termination (but only if the initial discussions
between Dendrite and such prospective client relating to the rendering of
services occurred prior to the date of Employee’s termination, and only if
Employee actively participated in or supervised such discussions).  For purposes of this clause, it is agreed
that a general mailing or an incidental contact shall not be deemed a “new
business presentation or similar offering of services” or a “discussion”.  In addition, if the client is part of a
group of companies which conducts business through more than one entity,
division or operating unit, whether or not separately incorporated (a “Client
Group”), the term “client” as used herein shall also include each entity,
division and operating unit of the Client Group where the same management group
of the Client Group has the decision making authority or significant influence
with respect to contracting for services of the type rendered by Dendrite.

 

For a two (2)
year period after the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason
whatsoever, Employee agrees to promptly notify Dendrite in writing the identity
of all subsequent employers.

 

11.                               NON-DISPARAGEMENT

 

Employee
agrees that he/she will not at any time make any statement, observation or
opinion, or communicate any information (whether oral or written) that is
likely to come to the attention of any client or employee of Dendrite or any
member of the media, which statement is derogatory of or casts in a negative
light Dendrite or its officers, directors and

 

5

 

employees or
otherwise engage in any activity which is inimical to the interests of the
Company.

 

12.                               OUTSIDE
CONTRACTING

 

Employee shall
not enter into any agreements to provide any services to any person or entity
outside of his/her employment by Dendrite (an “Outside Agreement”) without the
prior written express consent from Dendrite. 
Employee must notify Dendrite of his/her intent to enter into an Outside
Agreement specifying therein the other party to such Outside Agreement and the
type of services to be provided by Employee. 
Dendrite shall not unreasonably withhold permission to Employee to enter
into Outside Agreements unless such Outside Agreements (i) are with competitors
or potential competitors of Dendrite, or (ii) as determined in Dendrite’s sole
discretion, shall substantially hamper or prohibit Employee from satisfactorily
carrying out all duties assigned to Employee by Dendrite.

 

13.                               AFTER-HOURS
DEVELOPMENT

 

In the event that Employee
shall develop any software which, pursuant to Section 9 herein, is not the
property of Dendrite, Dendrite shall have a right of first refusal to publish
and/or purchase the rights to such software. 
Employee shall notify Dendrite of any such after-hours development as
soon as reasonably possible before or during the development process including
a description of the intended functions of the after-hours development and the
estimated date of completion.

 

14.                               PRIOR
EMPLOYMENT

 

Employee
represents and warrants that Employee has not taken or otherwise
misappropriated and does not have in Employee’s possession or control any
confidential and proprietary information belonging to any of Employee’s prior
employers or connected with or derived from Employee’s services to prior
employers.  Employee represents and
warrants that Employee has returned to all prior employers any and all such
confidential and proprietary information. 
Employee further acknowledges, represents and warrants that Dendrite has
informed Employee that Employee is not to use or cause the use of such
confidential or proprietary information in any manner whatsoever in connection
with Employee’s employment by Dendrite. 
Employee agrees, represents and warrants that Employee will not use such
information.  Employee shall indemnify
and hold harmless Dendrite from any and a all claims arising from any breach of
the representations and warranties in this Section.

 

15.                               REMEDIES

 

The parties
agree that in the event Employee breaches or threatens to breach this
Agreement, money damages may be an inadequate remedy for Dendrite and that
Dendrite will not have an adequate remedy at law.  It is understood, therefore, that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement by Employee, Dendrite shall have the right
to

 

6

 

obtain from a court of
competent jurisdiction restraints or injunctions prohibiting Employee from
breaching or threatening to breach this Agreement.  In that event, the parties agree that Dendrite will not be
required to post bond or other security. 
It is also agreed that any restraints or injunctions issued against
Employees shall be in addition to any other remedies which Dendrite may have
available to it.

 

16.                               APPLICABLE
LAW

 

This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New Jersey without regard to the conflicts of laws.

 

17.                               NOTICES

Agreement, it shall be delivered in the English language, in writing, as

or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the
other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of changes of
address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

18.                               NON-ASSIGNABILITY

 

Employee’s
rights or obligations under the terms of this Agreement or of any other
agreement with Dendrite may not be assigned. 
Any attempted assignment will be void as to Dendrite.  Dendrite may, however, assign its rights to
any affiliated or successor entity.

 

19.                               BINDING
AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee’s heirs and personal
representatives and to the successors and assigns of Dendrite.

 

7

 

20.                               INTEGRATION

 

This Agreement
sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersedes
any and all prior negotiations, discussions, agreements or understandings
between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof.  No representations, oral or otherwise, with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement have been made by either party.

 

21.                               WAIVER

 

This Agreement
may not be modified or waived except by a writing signed by both parties.  No waiver by either party of any breach by
the other shall be considered a waiver of any subsequent breach of the
Agreement.

 

22.                               ARBITRATION

 

(a)                                  If
any dispute arises between Employee and Dendrite that the parties cannot
resolve themselves, including any dispute over the application, validity,
construction, or interpretation of this Agreement, arbitration in accordance
with the then-applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association shall
provide the exclusive remedy for resolving any such dispute, regardless of its
nature; provided, however, that Dendrite may enforce Employee’s obligations
under Sections 5 through 13 hereof by an action for injunctive relief and
damages in a court of competent jurisdiction at any time prior or subsequent to
the commencement of an arbitration proceeding as herein provided.

 

(b)                                 This
Section 22 shall apply to claims arising under state and federal statutes,
local ordinances, and the common law. 
The arbitrator shall apply the same substantive law that a court with
jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute would apply under the terms of
this Agreement.  The arbitrator’s
remedial authority shall equal the remedial power that a court with
jurisdiction over the parties and their dispute would have.  The arbitrator shall, upon an appropriate
motion, dismiss any claim brought in arbitration if he/she or she determines
that the claim could not properly have been pursued through court
litigation.  If the then-applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association conflict with the procedures of
this Section 21, the latter shall apply.

 

(c)                                  If
the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator, the parties shall select a single
arbitrator from a list of seven arbitrators provided by the Newark, New Jersey
office of the American Arbitration Association.  All seven listed arbitrators shall be retired judges experienced
in employment law and/or persons actively involved in hearing private
cases.  If the parties cannot agree on
selecting an arbitrator from that list, then the parties shall alternately
strike names from the list, with the first party to strike being determined by
lot.  After each party has used three
strikes, the remaining name on the list shall be the arbitrator.

 

8

 

(d)                                 Each
party may be represented by counsel or by another representative of the party’s
choice, and each party shall pay the costs and fees of its counsel or other
representative and its own filing or administrative fees.  The non-prevailing party (as determined by
the arbitrator) shall bear the fees and costs of the arbitrator.

 

(e)                                  The
arbitrator shall render an award and opinion in the form typical of those
rendered in labor arbitrations, and that award shall be final and binding and
non-appealable.  To the extent that any
part of this Section 22 is found to be legally unenforceable for any reason,
that part shall be modified or deleted in such a manner as to render this
Section 22 (or the remainder of this Section) legally enforceable and as to
ensure that except as provided in clause (b) of this Section 22, all conflicts
between Dendrite and Employee shall be resolved by neutral, binding
arbitration.  The remainder of this
Section 22 shall not be affected by any such modification or deletion but shall
be construed as severable and independent. 
If a court finds that the arbitration procedures of this Section 22 are
not absolutely binding, then the parties intend any arbitration decision to be
fully admissible in evidence, given great weight by any finder of fact, and
treated as determinative to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(f)                                    Unless
the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration shall take place in Newark, New
Jersey in such location as agreed to by Dendrite and Employee.  If the parties cannot agree upon a location
for the arbitration, the arbitrator shall determine the location within the
State of New Jersey.

 

(g)                                 Employee
has read and understands this Section 22 which discusses arbitration.  Employee understands that by signing this
Agreement, Employee agrees to submit any claims arising out of, relating to, or
in connection with this Agreement, or the interpretation, validity,
construction, performance, breach or termination thereof, or his/her employment
or the termination thereof, to binding arbitration, and that this arbitration
provision constitutes a waiver of Employee’s right to a jury trial and relates
to the resolution of all disputes relating to all aspects of the
employer/employee relationship, including but not limited to the following:

 

(i)                                    Any
and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment, breach of contract, both
express and implied; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
both express and implied; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional
distress; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional
interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; and defamation;

 

 

(ii)                                Any
and all claims for violation of any federal state or municipal statute,
including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family
and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the New Jersey

 

9

 

Family Leave Act, the New Jersey
Conscientious Employee Protection Act and the New Jersey Law Against
Discrimination; and

 

(iii)                            Any
and all claims arising out of any other federal, state or local laws or
regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination.

 

23.                               SEVERABILITY

 

In the event
that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  Moreover, if any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to
duration, scope, activity or subject, such provisions will be construed by
limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent
compatible with applicable law.

 

24.                               JURISDICTION

 

The State of
New Jersey shall have exclusive jurisdiction to entertain any legal or
equitable action with respect to Sections 5-13 of this Agreement except that
Dendrite may institute any such suit against the Employee in any jurisdiction
in which the Employee may be at the time. 
In the event suit is instituted in New Jersey, it is agreed that service
of summons or other appropriate legal process may be effected upon any party by
delivering it to the address in this Agreement specified for that party in
Section 17.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the parties have signed this Agreement as of the first date written above.
