court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are
unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum

stated duration, scope or area.

	9.	 	Ownership. Employee acknowledges that all developments relating to the business of
the employer, made and works created by Employee or under Employee’s direction in connection
with Employer’s assignments or in connection with the assignments of other Employees of
Employer, whether or not made exclusively at Employer’s premises and whether or not created
exclusively with Employer’s computers or other equipment, shall be the sole and complete
property of Employer and that all copyrights and other proprietary interest therein shall
belong to Employer and that all other provisions of this Agreement shall fully apply to all
such developments and works. Employee further agrees that all such developments relating to

of the employer.
	 
	10.	 	Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that disclosure of any Trade Secrets or

appropriate, a customer of Employer, may seek and obtain injunctive relief against the breach
or threatened breach of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies
which may be available. The Employee further acknowledges

Employee, together with Employee’s executor, administrator, personal
representative, heirs and legatees.
	 
	 	11.2.	 	This Agreement shall constitute the entire contract between the parties and
supersedes all existing agreements between them, whether oral or written, with respect to
the subject matter hereof. No change, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be
of any effect unless in writing signed by the Employee and by the President of the
corporation.
	 
	 	11.3.	 	The failure of Employer to terminate this Agreement for the breach of any condition
or covenant herein by the Employee shall not affect Employer’s right to terminate for
subsequent breaches of the same or other conditions or covenants. The failure of either
party to enforce at any time or for any period of time any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or the right of the party
thereafter to enforce each and every such provision.
	 
	 	11.4.	 	Should any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement not be
enforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected

without limitation, disputes relating to this Agreement, Employee’s employment by the Employer
or the termination thereof, claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good
faith and fair dealing, and any claims of discrimination or other claims under Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment act, the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act, the Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act, or any other federal, state or local law or regulation now in
existence or hereinafter enacted and as amended from time to time concerning in any way the
subject of Employee’s employment with the Company or its termination. The only claims or
disputes not covered by this paragraph are disputes related to (i) claims for benefits under
the unemployment insurance or workers’ compensation laws, and (ii) issues affecting the
validity, infringement or enforceability of any trade secret or patent rights held or sought
by the Company or which the Company could otherwise seek; in both of the foregoing cases such
claims or disputes shall not be subject to arbitration and will be resolved pursuant to
applicable law. Binding arbitration will be conducted in Highlands Ranch, Colorado in
accordance with the rules and

/s/ Robert Pennington

 

 

	 	 	regulations of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), by an arbitrator selected from the AAA
Commercial Disputes Panel with a minimum of five years experience in employment law. If, at the
time the dispute in question arose, Employee lives and works more than one hundred (100) miles from
Highlands Ranch, Colorado, then Employee has the option of requesting the arbitration take place in
the county in which the Company has an office that is nearest to Employee’s home. Employee
understands and agrees that the arbitration shall be instead of any jury trial and that the
arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and
enforceable by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

	13.	 	Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the Laws of the
State of Colorado and Georgia without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
