(payable at time they would be otherwise be payable), vacation, benefits and
reimbursement of expenses. 

10.   Confidentiality.
Executive covenants and agrees that he will not at any time during or after the
end of the Term, without written consent of the Company or as may be required by
law or valid legal process, directly or indirectly, use for his own account, or
disclose to any person, firm or corporation, other than authorized officers,
directors, attorneys, accountants and employees of the Company or its
subsidiaries, Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) of the Company.
As used herein, “Confidential Information” of the Company means information
about the Company of any kind, nature or description, including but not limited
to, any proprietary information, trade secrets, data, formulae, supplier, client
and customer lists or requirements, price lists or pricing structures, marketing
and sales information, business plans or dealings and financial information and
plans as well as all papers, resumes and records (including computer records)
that are disclosed to or otherwise known to Executive as a direct or indirect
consequence of Executive’s employment with the Company, which information is not
generally known to the public or in the businesses in which the Company is
engaged. Confidential Information also includes any information furnished to the
Company by a third party with restrictions on its use or further
disclosure.

11.   Nonsolicitation
and Noninterference.

(a)   Customers
and Suppliers. While
employed by the Company and for a one-year period thereafter, Executive will
not, directly or indirectly, solicit or influence or attempt to solicit or
influence any current or prospective customer, client, vendor or supplier of the
Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to divert their business to any
Competitor (as defined below) of the Company (whether or not exclusive) or
otherwise terminate his or its relationship with the Company.

(b)   Employees.

(i)   Executive
recognizes that, as a result of Executive’s association with the Company, he
will possess confidential information about other employees or consultants of
the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates relating to their education,
experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and their
interpersonal relationships with customers. Executive acknowledges and agrees
that the information he possesses or will possess about these other employees or
consultants is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and
its affiliates and subsidiaries in developing its business and in securing and
retaining customers, and is, will be or may be known to Executive because of his
employment with the Company. 

4

 

(ii)   Accordingly,
Executive agrees that, while employed by the Company and for a one-year period
thereafter, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, induce, solicit or
recruit any employee or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates for the purpose of (A) being employed by Executive or by any
Competitor of the Company or (B) causing such individual to terminate his or her
employment relationship with the Company for any purpose or no
purpose.

(iii)   For
purposes of this Agreement, a “Competitor” will mean any other entity or person
that provides or proposes to provide services or products similar in kind or
purpose to those provided or proposed to be provided by the Company during the
Term.

(iv)   The
provisions of Sections 11(a) and (b) above shall not apply in the event that
Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason.

12.   Rights
and Remedies upon Breach. In the
event that Executive breaches, or threatens to breach, any of the material
agreements or material covenants set forth herein, the Company will have the
right and remedy to seek to obtain injunctive relief, it being agreed that any
breach or threatened breach of any of the confidentiality, nonsolicitation or
other restrictive covenants and agreements contained herein would cause
irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an
adequate remedy at law to the Company.

13.   Dispute
Resolution. Except
for an action exclusively seeking injunctive relief, any disagreement, claim or
controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including
Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company will be
resolved exclusively by arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance
with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the
American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”),
provided that, the arbitrator will allow for discovery sufficient to adequately
arbitrate any statutory claims, including access to essential documents and
witnesses; provided further, that the Rules will be modified by the arbitrator
to the extent necessary to be consistent with applicable law. The arbitration
will take place in Phoenix, Arizona. The award of the arbitrator with respect to
such disagreement, claim or controversy will be in writing with sufficient
explanation to allow for such meaningful judicial review as permitted by law,
and that such decision will be enforceable in any court of competent
jurisdiction and will be binding on the parties hereto. The remedies available
in arbitration will be identical to those allowed at law. The arbitrator will be
entitled to award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party in any
arbitration or judicial action under this Agreement, consistent with applicable
law. The Company and Executive each will pay its or his own attorneys’ fees and
costs in any such arbitration, provided that, the Company will pay for any
costs, including the arbitrator’s fee, that Executive would not have otherwise
incurred if the dispute were adjudicated in a court of law, rather than through
arbitration.

14.   Binding
Agreement.
1)  This
Agreement is a personal contract and the rights and interests of Executive
hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered or
hypothecated by him, provided that all rights of the Executive hereunder shall
inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal
representatives, executors, heirs, administrators, successors, distributors,
devisees and legatees.

5

 

(b)   In
addition to any obligations impose by law upon any successor to Company (whether
direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the assets of Company, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would by
required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

15.   Disclosure
Obligations. During
the Term, Executive agrees to make prompt and full disclosure to the Company of
any change of facts or circumstances that may affect Executive’s obligations
undertaken and acknowledged herein, and Executive agrees that the Company has
the right to notify any third party of the existence and content of Executive’s
obligations hereunder.

16.   Return
of Company Property.
Executive agrees that following the termination of his employment for any
reason, he will promptly return all property of the Company, its subsidiaries,
affiliates and any divisions thereof he may have managed that is then in or
thereafter comes into his possession, including, but not limited to, documents,
contracts, agreements, plans, photographs, books, notes, electronically stored
data and all copies of the foregoing, as well as any materials or equipment
supplied by the Company to Executive.

Agreement. This

not rely, and has not relied, on any representation or statement not set forth
herein made by the Company with regard to the subject matter, bases or effect of
this Agreement or otherwise. 

18.   Amendment
or Modification, Waiver. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or
waiver is agreed to in writing, signed by Executive and by a duly authorized
officer of the Company. The failure of either party to this Agreement to enforce
any of its terms, provisions or covenants will not be construed as a waiver of
the same or of the right of such party to enforce the same. Waiver by either
party hereto of any breach or default by the other party of any term or
provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other breach or
default.

19.   Notices. Any
notice to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given when
delivered personally, sent by courier or fax or registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed to the party concerned at
