        (a)       Engage in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that is competitive with the Company’s Business, including but not limited to any business or enterprise that develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, sells or provides any product or service that competes with any product or service that, at any time during the twelve (12) months prior to the date on which the Executive’s employment terminated, was developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, by the Company.
    

    
         
    

    
        (b)       Either alone or in association with others (i) solicit, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive to solicit, any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or (ii) solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by the Executive to solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, any person who was employed by the Company during the last two (2) years of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

        7.2          Extension. If the Executive violates the provisions of Section 7.1, the Executive shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth in Section 7.1 until a period of twelve (12) months has expired without any violation of such provisions.
    

    
         
    

    
        7.3          Interpretation. If any restriction set forth in Section 7.1 is found by any court of competent jurisdiction 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 extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable.
    

    
         
    

    
        7.4          Equitable Remedies. The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this Section 7 is likely to cause the Company substantial and irreparable damage that is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to the other remedies that may be available, shall have the right to apply for an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.
    

    
         
    

    
    
         

    

    
         

    

    
    
         
    

    
        8.             Proprietary Information and Developments.
    

    
         
    

    
        8.1           Proprietary Information.
    

    
         
    

    
        (a)       The Executive agrees that all information, whether or not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the Company’s business, business relationships, technologies, products, product development and marketing strategies or financial affairs (collectively, “Proprietary Information”) is and shall be the exclusive property of the Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may include inventions, products, processes, methods, trade secrets, formulas, compositions, compounds, projects, developments, plans, research data, clinical data, financial data, personnel data, computer programs, customer and supplier lists, and knowledge of customers or prospective customers of the Company. The Executive will not disclose any Proprietary Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company or use the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company (other than the Executive himself), either during or after his employment with the Company, unless and until such Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Executive.
    

    
         
    

    
        (b)       The Executive agrees that all files, letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, laboratory notebooks, program listings, or other written, photographic, or other tangible material containing Proprietary Information, whether created by the Executive or others, which shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive property of the Company to be used by the Executive only in the performance of his duties for the Company. All such materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the custody or possession of the Executive shall be delivered to the Company, upon the earlier of (i) a request by the Company or (ii) termination of his employment. After such delivery, the Executive shall not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.
    

    
         
    

    
        (c)       The Executive agrees that his obligation not to disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property, set forth in paragraph (b) above, also extends to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company or to the Executive.
    

    
         
    

    
        8.2           Developments.
    

    
         
    

    
        (a)       The Executive will make full and prompt disclosure to the Company of all inventions, improvements, discoveries, methods, developments, software, and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, which are created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by him or under his direction or jointly with others during his employment by the Company, whether or not during normal working hours or on the premises of the Company (all of which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as “Developments”).
    

    
         
    

    
    
         

    

    
         

    

    
    
         
    

    
        (b)       The Executive agrees to assign and does hereby assign to the Company (or any person or entity designated by the Company) all his right, title and interest in and to all Developments and all related patents, patent applications, copyrights and copyright applications. However, this paragraph (b) shall not apply to Developments which do not relate to the business or research and development conducted or planned to be conducted by the Company at the time such Development is created, made, conceived or reduced to practice and which are made and conceived by the Executive not during normal working hours, not on the Company’s premises and not using the Company’s tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information. The Executive understands that, to the extent this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of any state which precludes a requirement in an employee agreement to assign certain classes of inventions made by an employee, this paragraph (b) shall be interpreted not to apply to any invention which a court rules and/or the Company agrees falls within such classes. The Executive also hereby waives all claims to moral rights in any Developments.
    

    
         
    

    
        (c)       The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during and after his employment with the Company, with respect to the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights (both in the United States and foreign countries) relating to Developments; provided that, after his employment with the Company, such cooperation shall be conditioned upon reimbursement by the Company of the Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Executive shall sign all papers, including, without limitation, copyright applications, patent applications, declarations, oaths, formal assignments, assignments of priority rights, and powers of attorney, which the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development. The Executive further agrees that if the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the signature of the Executive on any such papers, any executive officer of the Company shall be entitled to execute any such papers as the agent and the attorney-in-fact of the Executive, and the Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each executive officer of the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any such papers on his behalf, and to take any and all actions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable in order to protect its rights and interests in any Development, under the conditions described in this sentence,
    

    
         
    

    
        8.3           United States Government Obligations. The Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other parties or with the United States Government, or agencies thereof, which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding inventions made during the course of work under such agreements or regarding the confidential nature of such work. The Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions that are made known to the Executive and to take all appropriate action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company under such agreements.
    

    
         
    

    
        8.4           Equitable Remedies. The restrictions contained in this Section 8 are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Executive to be reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any breach of this Section 8 may cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage that is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Executive agrees that the Company, in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall have the right to apply for an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the provisions of this Section 8.
    

    
         
    

    
    
         

    

    
         

    

    
    
         
    

    
        9.            Miscellaneous.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.1           Notices. Any notices delivered under this Agreement shall be deemed duly delivered four (4) business days after it is sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or one business day after it is sent for next-business day delivery via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, in each case to the address of the recipient set forth in the introductory paragraph hereto. Either party may change the address to which notices are to be delivered by giving notice of such change to the other party in the manner set forth in this Section 9.1.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.2           Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular forms of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.3          Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.4          Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Executive.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.5           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof). Any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and the Company and the Executive each consents to the jurisdiction of such a court.
    

    
         
    

    
        9.6           Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both the Company and its successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business; provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive are personal and shall not be assigned by him.
