Exercise of Placement Agent Warrant

(A)           Exercise Procedure.

(i)           This Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised at such time as the Company has received all of the following items (the “Exercise Date”):

(a)           a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, executed by the Holder (the “Purchaser”); and

(b)           a certified check or other immediately available funds payable to the Company in an amount equal to the sum of the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (the “Cash Exercise”) or the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a cashless exercise (the “Cashless Exercise”) in which the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock, together with a like number of Placement Agent Series D Warrants and Placement Agent Series E Warrants determined as follows:

 

	
  

	
X = Y [A-B/A].

 

	
  

	
X = the number of shares of Common Stock, Placement Agent Series D Warrants and Placement Agent Series E Warrants to be issued to the Holder.

	
  

	
Y = the number of Placement Agent Warrants being exercised (prior to the Cashless Exercise).

	
  

	
A = the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or quoted for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to but not including the Exercise Date. If the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted and bid and ask prices are not reported, the fair market value shall be the price per share as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

	
  

	
B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the shares of Common Stock issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Placement Agent Warrant was originally issued to the Holder (provided the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

(ii)           Certificates for the shares of Common Stock, Placement Agent Series D Warrants and Placement Agent Series E Warrants purchased upon exercise of this Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date.  Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company will prepare a new Warrant representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been exercised.  The Company will, within such ten (10) day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Holder at the address set forth in this Warrant.

(iii)           The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be deemed to have been transferred to the Purchaser on the Exercise Date, and the Purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

(iv)           The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and that the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(v)           The registration rights for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant are as set forth in the Memorandum.  Unless the Company shall have registered the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock, Placement Agent Series D Warrants and Placement Agent Series E Warrants issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in the 1933 Act. The Company may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the certificates evidencing such securities if required in compliance with state securities laws:

"These securities have not been registered under any state securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to AnythingIT Inc. that an exemption from registration under any applicable state securities laws is available."

 

(C)           Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be obligated to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, provided, however, that if a holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such holder, the Company shall at its option (i) eliminate the fractional interests by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares or (ii) within 30 days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share as determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or quoted, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.

Effect of Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale

(A)           Recapitalization or Reclassification of Common Stock.  In case the Company shall at any time prior to exercise of this Warrant or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise hereof, together with the number of Placement Agent Series D Warrants and Placement Agent Series E Warrants which shall be issued upon such exercise, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price of such recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, be proportionately increased.

(B)           Consolidation, Merger or Sale. .  In case the Company shall at any time prior to the exercise of this Warrant or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, consolidate or merge with any other corporation (unless the Company shall be the surviving entity) or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation preparatory to a dissolution (collectively, the "Fundamental Transaction"), then the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, provide notice to the Holder of not less than ten (10) days prior to the closing and/or effective date of such Fundamental Transaction during which time the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to its terms.  To the extent not exercised, this Warrant and any right to acquire shares of the underlying securities will automatically expire on the closing date and/or effective date of such Fundamental Transaction.

(C)           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of shares of securities purchasable and issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of securities purchasable and issuable hereunder resulting from such adjustments, and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder.  Any such certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for inspection by the Holder on any day during normal business hours.

3.           Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company will at all time reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.  Upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms, the Holder will acquire fully paid and non-assessable ownership rights of the Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances except as otherwise provided herein.

4.           No Stockholder Rights or Obligations.  This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.  Until the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder; provided, however, the Company uses its best efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company.

5.           Transferability.  Subject to the terms hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed Assignment in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto at the principal offices of the Company.  This Warrant and the underlying securities may not be offered, sold or transferred except in compliance with the 1933 Act, and any applicable state securities laws, and then only against receipt of an agreement of the person to whom such offer or sale or transfer is made to comply with the provisions of this Warrant with respect to any resale or other disposition of such securities; provided, however, that no such agreement shall be required from any person purchasing this Warrant or the underlying shares of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement effective under the 1933 Act.  The Holder of this Warrant agrees that, prior to the disposition of any security purchased on the exercise hereof other than pursuant to a registration statement then effective under the 1933 Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company, expressing his intention as to such disposition.  Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present a copy thereof to its securities counsel.  If, in the sole opinion of such counsel, which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition does not require registration of such security under the 1933 Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company shall, upon written instructions to be delivered to the Company within thirty (30) business days following the date hereof, transfer all or a portion of this Warrant to officers, directors, employees and other registered agents or associated persons of the Holder.

(B)           Exercise Procedure.

(i)           This Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised at such time as the Company has received all of the following items (the “Exercise Date”):

(b)           a certified check or other immediately available funds payable to the Company in an amount equal to the sum of the product of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise (the “Cash Exercise”) or the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a cashless exercise (the “Cashless Exercise”) in which the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock determined as follows:

 

	
  

	
X = Y [A-B/A].

 

	
  

	
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.

	
  

	
Y = the number of Placement Agent Warrants being exercised (prior to the Cashless Exercise).

	
  

	
A = the average of the closing bid and asked prices on the primary trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or quoted for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to but not including the Exercise Date. If the Common Stock is not so listed or quoted and bid and ask prices are not reported, the fair market value shall be the price per share as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

	
  

	
B = the Exercise Price.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the shares of Common Stock issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Placement Agent Warrant was originally issued to the Holder (provided the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

(ii)           Certificates for the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant will be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser within ten (10) business days after the Exercise Date.  Unless this Warrant has expired or all of the purchase rights represented hereby have been exercised, the Company will prepare a new Warrant representing the rights formerly represented by this Warrant that have not expired or been exercised.  The Company will, within such ten (10) day period, deliver such new Warrant to the Holder at the address set forth in this Warrant.

(iii)           The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be deemed to have been transferred to the Purchaser on the Exercise Date, and the Purchaser will be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of such Common Stock on the Exercise Date.

(iv)           The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant will be made without charge to the Purchaser for any issuance tax in respect thereof or any other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and related transfer of the shares; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate or instrument in a name other than that of the Holder of this Warrant, and that the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate or instrument unless and until the person or persons requiring the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Unless the Company shall have registered the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in the 1933 Act. The Company may insert the following or similar legend on the face of the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock if required in compliance with state securities laws:

"These securities have not been registered under any state securities laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under any applicable state securities laws, or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to AnythingIT Inc. that an exemption from registration under any applicable state securities laws is available."

 

 

(C)           Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall not be obligated to issue any fractional share interests or fractional warrant interests upon the exercise of this Warrant, nor shall it be obligated to issue scrip or pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, provided, however, that if a holder exercises all the Warrants held of record by such holder, the Company shall at its option (i) eliminate the fractional interests by rounding any fraction up to the nearest whole number of shares or (ii) within 30 days after the Exercise Date, deliver to the Purchaser a check payable to the Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional share as determined by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market on which the Company’s Common Stock is then listed or quoted, as of the close of business on the Exercise Date.

In case the Company shall at any time prior to exercise of this Warrant or the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever first occurs, effect a recapitalization or reclassification of such character that its Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise hereof shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in such number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such recapitalization or reclassification, and the Exercise Price of such recapitalized or reclassified Common Stock shall, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, be proportionately decreased and, in the case of a decrease in the number of shares, be proportionately increased.

To the extent not exercised, this Warrant and any right to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock will automatically expire on the closing date and/or effective date of such Fundamental Transaction.

(C)           Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as provided herein, the Company shall file with its corporate records a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth the computation and the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder resulting from such adjustments, and a copy of such certificate shall be mailed to the Holder.  Any such certificate or letter shall be conclusive evidence as to the correctness of the adjustment or adjustments referred to therein and shall be available for inspection by the holders of the Warrants on any day during normal business hours.

3.           Company’s Right to Call this Warrant.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, during the Exercise Period, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (each, a “Call Notice”) following the period in which the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $____ per share for 20 consecutive trading days, the Company shall have the right to call any or all of the Warrant at a call price of $0.01 per underlying share (the "Call Price").  Warrant holders shall have the period from the date of the Call Notice, which shall be delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 8 hereof, until 5 p.m., Eastern time, on the thirtieth (30) day following the Call Notice (the "Call Date") to exercise the Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.  Any Warrants which have been called but remain unexercised by the Call Date shall automatically terminate and no longer entitle the Holder to exercise such Warrant or to receive any consideration therefor, other than the Call Price.  For any Warrants which are not exercised by the Call Date, the Company shall promptly as possible following the Call Date pay the Call Price to the Holder of any Warrants which have been called and not exercised.

4.           Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company will at all time reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.

5.           No Stockholder Rights or Obligations.  This Warrant will not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.  Until the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant are recorded as issued on the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent, the Holder shall not be entitled to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder; provided, however, the Company uses its best efforts to ensure that, upon receipt of the Exercise Agreement and payment of the Exercise Price, the appropriate documentation necessary to effectuate the exercise of the Warrant and the issuance of the Common Stock is accomplished as expeditiously as possible.  No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase Common Stock, and no enumeration in this Warrant of the rights or privileges of the Holder, will give rise to any obligation of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a stockholder of the Company.

If, in the sole opinion of such counsel, which such opinion shall not be unreasonably withheld, the proposed disposition does not require registration of such security under the 1933 Act, or any similar statute then in effect, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, notify the Holder of such opinion, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to dispose of such security in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company shall, upon written instructions to be delivered to the Company within thirty (30) business days following the date hereof, transfer all or a portion of this Warrant to officers, directors, employees and other registered agents or associated persons of the Holder.

Other death benefits will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Corporation's benefit programs and plans.

b.           Disability.

(1)           The Executive's employment will terminate in the event of his disability, upon the first day of the month following the determination of disability as provided below. Following such a termination, the Executive shall be entitled to compensation in accordance with the Corporation's disability compensation practice for senior executives, including any separate arrangement or policy covering the Executive, but in all events the Executive shall continue to receive his Base Salary, at the annual rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of disability, for one (1) year following the termination. Any amounts provided for in this Section 6b shall not be offset by other long-term disability benefits provided to the Executive by the Corporation or Social Security.

(2)           "Disability," for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Executive is unable, by reason of a physical or mental condition, to perform his duties under this Agreement for an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any 12-month period or (B) the Executive has a guardian of the person or estate appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, following a termination of employment due to disability, the Executive becomes re-employed, whether as an executive or a consultant, any compensation, annual incentive payments or other benefits earned by the Executive from such employment shall be offset against any compensation continuation due to the Executive hereunder.

c.           Termination by the Corporation For Cause.

(1)           Nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation from terminating Executive for Cause, as hereinafter defined.  The Executive shall continue to receive compensation only for the period ending with the date of such termination as provided in this Section 6c.

(2)           "Cause" shall mean (A) committing or participating in an injurious act of fraud, gross neglect, misrepresentation, embezzlement or dishonesty against the Corporation; (B) committing or participating in any other injurious act or omission wantonly, willfully, recklessly or in a manner which was grossly negligent against the Corporation; (C) engaging in a criminal enterprise involving moral turpitude; (D) conviction for a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof; or (E) any assignment of this Agreement in violation of Section 14 of this Agreement.

(3)           Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, this Agreement will not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a notice of termination stating that the Executive committed one of the types of conduct set forth in Section 6c(2) of this Agreement and specifying the particulars thereof and the Executive shall be given a thirty (30) day period to cure such conduct set forth in Section 6c(2).

d.           Termination by the Corporation Other Than For Cause.

(1)           The foregoing notwithstanding, the Corporation may terminate the Executive's employment for whatever reason it deems appropriate; provided, however, that in the event such termination is not based on Cause, as provided in Section 6c above, the Corporation may terminate this Agreement upon giving the Executive thirty (30) days' prior written notice. During such thirty (30) day period, the Executive shall continue to perform the Executive's duties pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any such termination, the Corporation shall continue to pay to the Executive the Base Salary and Executive Benefits he would be entitled to receive under this Agreement for the balance of the Term of this Agreement; and at the end of the thirty (30) day period, the Corporation shall pay to the Executive a sum equal to one (1) times the Executive's annual Base Salary, as of the date of termination, together with any Annual Bonus which may have been earned as of the date of termination.  Such amount shall be payable in six equal monthly installments beginning on the date of termination.

(2)           In the event that the Executive's employment with the Corporation is terminated pursuant to this Section 6d, Section 6f or Section 7a of this Agreement and all references thereto shall be voidable as to the Executive and the Corporation.

e.           Voluntary Termination.  If the Executive terminates the Executive's employment on the Executive's own volition (except as provided in Section 6f) prior to the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, including any renewals thereof, such termination shall constitute a voluntary termination and in such event the Executive shall be limited to the same rights and benefits as provided in connection with a termination for Cause as provided in Section 6c.

f.           Constructive Termination of Employment. A termination by the Corporation without Cause under Section 6d shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events without the express written consent of the Executive:

(1)           a material breach of the Agreement by the Corporation; or

(2)           failure by a successor company to assume the obligations under the Agreement.

 

  

4

  

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall give written notice to the Board of Directors of the Corporation that the Executive believes an event has occurred which would result in a Constructive Termination of the Executive's employment under this Section 6f, which written notice shall specify the particular act or acts, on the basis of which the Executive intends to so terminate the Executive's employment, and the Corporation shall then be given the opportunity, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, to cure said event; provided, however, there shall be no period permitted to cure a second occurrence of the same event and in no event will there be any period to cure following the occurrence of two events described in this Section 6f.

7.           Covenant Not To Compete and Non-Disclosure of Information.

a.           Covenant Not To Compete.  The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the Corporation's Business and the goodwill, continued patronage, and the names and addresses of the Corporation's Clients (as hereinafter defined) constitute a substantial asset of the Corporation having been acquired through considerable time, money and effort.

(3)           That during the Restricted Period and within the Restricted Area, the Executive will not (A) directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or otherwise influence any employee or agent of the Corporation to discontinue such employment or agency relationship with the Corporation, or (B) employ or seek to employ, or cause or permit any business which competes directly or indirectly with the Business Activities of the Corporation (the "Competitive Business") to employ or seek to employ for any Competitive Business any person who is then (or was at any time within two (2) years prior to the date Executive or the Competitive Business employs or seeks to employ such person) employed by the Corporation.

b.           Non-Disclosure of Information. The Executive acknowledges that the Corporation's trade secrets, private or secret processes, methods and ideas, as they exist from time to time, customer lists and information concerning the Corporation's sources, products, services, pricing, training methods, development, technical information, marketing activities and procedures, credit and financial data concerning the Corporation and/or the Corporation's Clients, and (the "Proprietary Information") are valuable, special and unique assets of the Corporation, access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the Executive hereunder. In light of the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the Corporation's business is conducted, the Executive agrees that all Proprietary Information, heretofore or in the future obtained by the Executive as a result of the Executive's association with the Corporation shall be considered confidential.

 

  

5

  

In recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that the Executive, during the Restricted Period, will not use or disclose any of such Proprietary Information for the Executive's own purposes or for the benefit of any person or other entity or organization (except the Corporation) under any circumstances unless such Proprietary Information has been publicly disclosed generally or, unless upon written advice of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, the Executive is legally required to disclose such Proprietary Information. Documents (as hereinafter defined) prepared by the Executive or that come into the Executive's possession during the Executive's association with the Corporation are and remain the property of the Corporation, and when this Agreement terminates, such Documents shall be returned to the Corporation at the Corporation's principal place of business, as provided in the Notice provision (Section 10) of this Agreement.

c.           Documents. "Documents" shall mean all original written, recorded, or graphic matters whatsoever, and any and all copies thereof, including, but not limited to: papers; books; records; tangible things; correspondence; communications; telex messages; memoranda; work-papers; reports; affidavits; statements; summaries; analyses; evaluations; client records and information; agreements; agendas; advertisements; instructions; charges; manuals; brochures; publications; directories; industry lists; schedules; price lists; client lists; statistical records; training manuals; computer printouts; books of account, records and invoices reflecting business operations; all things similar to any of the foregoing however denominated. In all cases where originals are not available, the term "Documents" shall also mean identical copies of original documents or non-identical copies thereof.

d.           Corporation's Clients. The "Corporation's Clients" shall be deemed to be any persons, partnerships, corporations, professional associations or other organizations for or with whom the Corporation has performed Business Activities, including, but not limited to, suppliers or vendors with whom the Corporation has done or is endeavoring to do business.

e.           Restrictive Period. The "Restrictive Period" shall be deemed to be two (2) years following termination of this Agreement.

f.           Restricted Area. The Restricted Area shall be deemed to mean the United States of America.

g.           Business Activities. "Business Activities" shall be deemed to any business activities concerning owning, operating, managing, promoting or soliciting clients for the Corporation’s Business, and any additional activities which the Corporation or any of its affiliates may engage in during any portion of the 12 months prior to the termination of Executive's employment.

h.           Covenants as Essential Elements of this Agreement. It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing covenants contained in Sections 7a and b are essential elements of this Agreement, and that but for the agreement by the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Corporation would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement. Such covenants by the Executive shall be construed to be agreements independent of any other provisions of this Agreement. The existence of any other claim or cause of action, whether predicated on any other provision in this Agreement, or otherwise, as a result of the relationship between the parties shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of such covenants against the Executive. To the extent that the covenants contained in this Section 7 may later be deemed by a court to be too broad to be enforced with respect to their duration or with respect to any particular activity or geographic area, the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of the provision, and to add or delete specific words or phrases to or from the provision.  The provision as modified shall then be enforced.

 

  

6

  

i.           Survival After Termination of Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the covenants in Sections 7a and b shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Executive's employment with the Corporation.

j.           Remedies.

(1)           The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Corporation's remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7a or b herein would be inadequate and the breach shall be per se deemed as causing irreparable harm to the Corporation. In recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach by the Executive of any of the provisions of Section 7a or b, the Executive agrees that, in addition to any remedy at law available to the Corporation, including, but not limited to monetary damages, all rights of the Executive to payment or otherwise under this Agreement and all amounts then or thereafter due to the Executive from the Corporation under this Agreement may be terminated and the Corporation, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain, and the Executive agrees not to oppose the Corporation's request for equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available to the Corporation.

(2)           The Executive acknowledges that the granting of a temporary injunction, temporary restraining order or permanent injunction merely prohibiting the use of Proprietary Information would not be an adequate remedy upon breach or threatened breach of Section 7a or b and consequently agrees, upon proof of any such breach, to the granting of injunctive relief prohibiting any form of competition with the Corporation. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach.

8.           Indemnification. The Executive shall be continue to be covered by the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Corporation with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the Corporation, subject to all the provisions of Delaware and Federal law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and the By-Laws of the Corporation then in effect.  Such reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, that may be covered by the these indemnification provisions shall be paid by the Corporation on a current basis in accordance with such provision, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and Delaware law. To the extent that any such payments by the Corporation pursuant to these provisions may be subject to repayment by the Executive pursuant to the provisions of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and/or By-Laws, or pursuant to Delaware or Federal law, such repayment shall be due and payable by the Executive to the Corporation within twelve (12) months after the termination of all proceedings, if any, which relate to such repayment and to the Corporation's affairs for the period prior to the date of termination of the Executive's employment with the Corporation and as to which Executive has been covered by such applicable provisions.

 

  

7

  

9.           Withholding. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Corporation hereunder to the Executive or the Executive's estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Corporation may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, the Corporation may accept other arrangements pursuant to which it is satisfied that such tax and other payroll obligations will be satisfied in a manner complying with applicable law or regulation.

10.           Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and if sent postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; by overnight delivery; by courier; or by confirmed telecopy, in the case of the Executive to the Executive's last place of business or residence as shown on the records of the Corporation, or in the case of the Corporation to its principal office as set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement, or at such other place as it may designate.

11.           Waiver. Unless agreed in writing, the failure of either party, at any time, to require performance by the other of any provisions hereunder shall not affect its right thereafter to enforce the same, nor shall a waiver by either party of any breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any other preceding or succeeding breach of any term or provision of this Agreement. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed to be an extension of time for the performance of any other obligation or act hereunder.

12.           Completeness and Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto superseding all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings among the parties hereto concerning the Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party to be charged.

13.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute but one agreement.

14.           Binding Effect/Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Executive but shall be assignable by the Corporation in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of its business or to any of the Corporation's affiliates controlled by or under common control with the Corporation.

15.           Governing Law. This Agreement shall become valid when executed and accepted by Corporation. The parties agree that it shall be deemed made and entered into in the State of New Jersey and shall be governed and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive shall conduct the Executive's business in a lawful manner and faithfully comply with applicable laws or regulations of the state, city or other political subdivision in which the Executive is located.

16.           Further Assurances. All parties hereto shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do such other acts as may be necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

17.           Headings. The headings of the sections are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction or limit the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

18.           Survival. Any termination of this Agreement shall not, however, affect the ongoing provisions of this Agreement which shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms.
