      16.2 
	
      The Executive will, whenever requested to do so by the
      Corporation, either during or after the termination of his employment, for
      any reason whatsoever, execute any and all applications, assignments and
      other instruments which the Corporation shall deem necessary in order to
      apply for and obtain letters patent of Canada and/or foreign countries for
      such Inventions and in order to assign and convey to the Corporation the
      sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to such Inventions,

      own time, and:

8 

	
       
	
      (a) 
	
      which does not relate directly to the Corporation’s
      business or to the Corporation’s actual or demonstrably anticipated

      performed for the Corporation. Except as previously disclosed to the
      Corporation in writing, the Executive does not have, and will not assert,
      any claims to or rights under any intellectual property as having been
      made, conceived, authored or acquired by the Executive prior to his

      his employment and for a period of twelve (12) months from the date on
      which his employment by the Corporation terminates, for whatever reason,
      whether voluntary or involuntary, he will not, directly or

      whatsoever, or provide support and/or assistance in any other form
      whatsoever, to any person, firm or corporation engaged in developing,

      competes with a product developed, manufactured, licensed, marketed or
      distributed by the Corporation during the Term or at the date of such
      termination of employment, as the case may be; provided that investments
      in securities representing less than 10% of the voting securities of any
      entity the shares of which are publicly traded shall not be deemed a
      violation of this subparagraph a);

	
       
	
       
	
       

	
       
	
      (b) 
	
      anywhere in North America, be employed by, act as an
      Executive or adviser to, or be the agent or representative of any person,
      firm or corporation engaged in developing, manufacturing, licensing,
      marketing or distributing any product that competes with a product

      or provided by the Corporation at the time of the cessation of his
      employment;

In the event that in any legal proceedings before a competent
tribunal in any jurisdiction, it is determined that either of Sub-sections a),
b), c) or d) of Section 17 above, or any part of the said Sub-sections, is
invalid with respect to any particular transaction, that Sub-section or part
thereof shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement for the purposes only
of the particular legal proceedings in question, and the said Sub-section shall,
in every other respect, continue in full force and effect. 

	
       
	
      17.2 
	
      The restrictions contained in Section 17.1 will not
      prevent the Executive from accepting employment with any larger
      pharmaceutical or medical products organization with separate and distinct
      divisions that do not compete, directly or indirectly, with the
      Corporation, as long as prior to accepting such employment the Corporation
      receives separate written assurances from the prospective employer and
      from the Executive, satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that
      the Executive will not render any services, directly or indirectly, to any
      division or business unit that competes, directly or indirectly, with the
      Corporation. During the restrictive period set forth in Section 17.1, the
      Executive will inform any new employer, prior to accepting employment, of
      the existence of this Agreement and provide such employer with a copy of
      this Agreement. Further, the restrictions in Section 17.1 will not
      prohibit the Executive from owning up to 5% of the capital stock of a
      publicly traded pharmaceutical or medical device company even if such
      public company has a product line which may compete with a Corporation
      Product. In the event that in any legal proceedings before a competent
      tribunal in any jurisdiction, it is determined that any of Sections
      17.1(a), (b), (c) or (d) or any part of the said Sub-sections, is invalid
      with respect to any particular transaction, that Sub-section or part
      thereof shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement for the purposes
      only of the particular legal proceedings in question, and the said
      Sub-section shall, in every other respect, continue in full force and
      effect.

  Corporation.

3. No Consideration Absent Execution of this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that he would not receive the monies
and/or benefits specified in paragraph “2b” above, without his execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein. 

4. General Release of Claims. Employee knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges, to the full extent permitted
by law, Employer, its parent corporation, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, successors and assigns and the current and former employees, officers, directors and agents thereof (collectively referred to throughout the remainder of

limited to, any alleged violation of: 
  

	 	•	 	Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; 

  

	 	•	 	The Civil Rights Act of 1991; 

  

					
	CONFIDENTIAL				Mark Harrington Separation Agreement

	 	•	 	Any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters. 

5. Waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542. To affect a full and complete general release as described above, Employee
expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits of section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, and Employee does so understanding and acknowledging the significance and consequence of specifically waiving section 1542.
Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California states as follows: 
 A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor. 

Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of section 1542, and to implement a full and complete release and discharge of Employer, Employee
expressly acknowledges this Agreement is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims Employee does not know or suspect to exist in Employee’s favor at the time of signing this Agreement, and this Agreement contemplates the
extinguishment of any such claim or claims. Employee warrants he has read this Agreement, including this waiver of California Civil Code section 1542, and he has consulted counsel or has had the opportunity to consult counsel about this Agreement
and specifically about the waiver of section 1542, and Employee understands this Agreement and the section 1542 waiver, and so Employee freely and knowingly enters 

  

					
			2		Mark Harrington Separation Agreement

 
into this Agreement. Employee acknowledges Employee may later discover facts different from or in addition to those Employee now knows or believes to be true regarding the matters released or
described in this Agreement, and even so Employee agrees the releases and agreements contained in this Agreement shall remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any later discovery of any different or additional facts. Employee assumes any
and all risk of any mistake in connection with the true facts involved in the matters, disputes, or controversies described in this Agreement or with regard to any facts now unknown to Employee relating to those matters. 

6. Affirmations. Employee affirms that Employee has not filed, caused to be filed, or is not presently a party to any claim
against Employer. Employee affirms that Employee has been granted any leave to which Employee was entitled under the Family and Medical Leave Act or related state or local leave or disability accommodation laws. 

Employee further affirms that Employee has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases. 

Employee also affirms that Employee has not divulged any proprietary or confidential information of Employer and will continue to maintain the
confidentiality of such information consistent with Employer’s policies and Employee’s agreement(s) with Employer dated August 1, 2004, as amended and/or common law. 

Employee further affirms that Employee has not been retaliated against for reporting any allegations of wrongdoing by Employer or its
officers, including any allegations of corporate fraud. Both Parties acknowledge that this Agreement does not limit either party’s right, where applicable, to file or participate in an investigative proceeding of any federal, state or local
governmental agency. To the extent permitted by law, Employee agrees that if such an administrative claim is made, Employee shall not be entitled to recover any individual monetary relief or other individual remedies. 

7. Non-Disparagement. Neither Employee nor GUIDANCE shall make any negative statements concerning, or take any action that
derogates, Employee, the Company or any other Employer Releasee, or the Company’s, or any other Employer Releasee’s, services, performance, reputation, officers, directors, employees, financial status, or operations or damages any of
Employee’s, the Company’s or any other Employer Releasee’s business relationships. It is agreed that in the event of a breach of the provisions of this Paragraph 7 by Employee, it would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix
actual damages to Employer Releasees. Therefore, the Parties agree that in the event of such a breach, Employee shall pay to Employer, as liquidated damages, and not as penalty, the sum of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS ($10,000.00) for each
breach by Employee, which represents reasonable compensation to GUIDANCE for the loss incurred because of each such breach. 
 8.
Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation. Except as provided below or as otherwise disclosed by GUIDANCE or as permitted by law, Employee agrees not to disclose any information regarding the existence or substance of this Agreement,
except to his/her spouse, tax advisor, and an attorney with whom Employee chooses to consult regarding his/her consideration of this Agreement. Employee may show this Section 8 to prospective employers as part of a job interview process for
disclosing post-employment restrictive covenants. Employee agrees that Employee shall not use the confidential trade secrets of the company to solicit any licensor to, or customer of, the Company or any licensee of the Company’s products, in
each case, that are known to Employee, with respect to any business, products, services or training that is competitive with the products or services offered by Employer or under development as of the date of termination of Employee’s
relationship with GUIDANCE. 
 9. Governing Law and Interpretation. This Agreement shall be governed and conformed in
accordance with the laws of the state California. In the event the Employee or Employer breaches any provision of this Agreement, Employee and Employer affirm that either may institute an action to specifically enforce any term or terms of this
Agreement. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, excluding the general release language, such provision shall immediately become
null and void, leaving the remainder of this Agreement and General Release in full force and effect. 
 10. Arbitration. Any
and all controversies arising out of or relating to the validity, interpretation, enforceability, or performance of this Agreement will be solely and finally settled by means of binding arbitration. Any arbitration shall be conducted in accordance
with the then-current Employment Dispute Resolution 

  

					
			3		Mark Harrington Separation Agreement

 
Rules of the American Arbitration Association and the substantive law of the state of California. The arbitration will be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties. Employer will be
responsible for paying the costs of the arbitration proceeding, unless otherwise provided in the arbitrator’s award. However, to avoid any possible feeling that the arbitrator may be biased in favor of Employer, Employee will also have the
option to pay for one-half of the costs of the arbitration proceeding if Employee desires. These costs include the court reporter’s fee, the arbitrator’s fee, and any costs associated with the facilities for the arbitration, and
specifically exclude any attorneys’ fees. 
 11. Non-admission of Wrongdoing. The parties agree that neither this
Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by Employer of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind. 

12. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or changed except upon express written consent of both parties
wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement. 
 13. Revocation. Employee acknowledges that Employee already has
attained the age of 40 and understands that this is a full release of all existing claims whether currently known or unknown including, but not limited to, claims for age discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Employee
