Company presently purchases under an agreement with another supplier, and is the principal ingredient in the product currently marketed under the name Microhydrin. The New Silica Hydride shall have, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion
of the Company, the equivalent characteristics of the Old Silica Hydride. The Company shall pay to the Employee $1,000.00 per metric ton or equivalent of New Silica Hydride produced and sold by the Company for a period of ten (10) years from the
date of the first sale of New Silica Hydride, or until cumulative payments reach $1,000,000, whichever comes first. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the end of each month based on the aggregate metric tonnage of New Silica
Hydride contained in all products sold by the Company during that preceding month that include New Silica Hydride as an ingredient. A statement presenting the calculation of the payment due pursuant to this paragraph shall accompany each payment.
Such statement will include the unit sales of each product sold during the prior month that included New Silica Hydride as an ingredient.

ten (10) years from the date of the first sale of New Concentrate, or until cumulative payments reach $250,000, whichever comes first. Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the end of each month based on the aggregate number of
gallons contained in all products sold by the Company during that preceding month that include New Concentrate as an ingredient. A statement presenting the calculation of the payment due pursuant to this paragraph shall accompany each payment. Such

the Company, the equivalent characteristics as the Old Crystals. The Company shall pay to the Employee $1,000.00 per 300 kilograms of New Crystals produced and sold by the Company for a period of ten (10) years from the date of the first sale of New

 Determination of Equivalence. The Company agrees to determine, in its sole and
absolute discretion, the equivalence and suitability for intended purpose and safety of each product prior to marketing each product developed by the Employee. Once marketing begins, the determination of equivalence shall not be revoked and payment
under this agreement shall continue; however, this does not prohibit the Company from directing the Employee to devote time to product improvement. 
  
 Severability of Product Provisions.. Each of the three foregoing provisions relating to the new products (New Hydride, New Concentrate and New Crystals) are
independent of each other, and the completion, acceptance and payment and term of payment for any one such product shall not affect the provisions relating to the completion, acceptance, payment or term of payment for any of the other products.

  
 Misappropriation of Trade Secrets. In the unlikely event that the
Company is found liable by a court of competent jurisdiction for misappropriation of trade secrets, or any similar charge, pursuant to work performed related to any of the aforementioned projects, this Agreement shall terminate forthwith and no
further payment shall be due hereunder.

Company’s parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of any infringement by Employee of any pending or
issued patent of any person or entity. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement, including without limitation termination pursuant to “Misappropriation of Trade Secrets”, above, and termination of the

disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision in this Agreement and they shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never
been contained in them. The foregoing notwithstanding, the breach by Employee of the Employee Invention and Proprietary Information Agreement dated July 26, 2002, by and between the Employee and the Company shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement. Company’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by it in writing. The section titles in the Agreement are
solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.

	 	f.	Disability. Should the Employee be unable to perform his duties under this Agreement by reason of disability for a period of sixty (60) days, Employer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Employee. During the period that Employee fails to perform his duties as a result of disability, the Employee shall continue to receive compensation as provided by this Agreement to the extent
Employee has accrued, unused personal time off available. Should Employee exhaust accrued, unused personal time off prior to a date six (6) months following the date on which Employee was determined to be disabled, Employer will continue to pay the

time off is a period of six (6) months. 

  

	 	g.	Early Termination by Employer. Should Employer terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal term in effect, other than by reason of
Cause, death or disability, whether or not such termination is in connection with or as a result of a Change of Control, Employee shall be paid compensation as provided in this Agreement up to the end of the initial term or renewal term in effect,
and shall be entitled to receive payment for accrued, unused personal time off as provided in the Employer’s manual for executive employees. In addition, the Employee shall continue to be paid his base salary for a period of six (6) months
following the date of termination, less all amounts required to be held and deducted.

death or disability, Employee shall be paid compensation as provided in this Agreement up to the date of termination, but shall not be entitled to receive payment for any accrued, unused personal time off, notwithstanding the provisions of the
Employer’s manual for executive employees.
