Executive hereby agrees that he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, such
consent to be within the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, directly or indirectly, during the
Term or any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information to any Person except in the

out of this Agreement) or any governmental or administrative agency.

7.2 Required Disclosure. In the event the Executive is required by law or court order
to disclose any Confidential Information or to produce any Company Property, the Executive promptly
shall notify the Company of such requirement and provide the Company with a copy of any court order
or of any law that requires such disclosure, and, if the Company so elects, to the extent permitted
by law, give the Company an adequate opportunity, at its own expense, to contest such law or court
order prior to any such required disclosure or production by the Executive.

7.3 Survival. The Executive agrees that the provisions of this Section 7 shall

is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
regardless of whether the basis of such Indemnifiable Action is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, the Company shall indemnify, defend,
and hold the Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and the Company’s
bylaws and operating agreements, as applicable, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but,
in the case of any such amendment to the Company’s by-laws and/or operating agreement(s), only to
the extent such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the
Company’s bylaws and/or operating agreement(s) permitted the Company to provide before such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees, costs, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or
suffered by the Executive in connection therewith. The indemnification allowed by this Section does
not include suits initiated by the Executive against the Company.
