      course of his employment with the Company.  Any material breach of the
      terms of this Paragraph shall be considered Cause.

     

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b)  Prohibited
      and
      Competitive Activities.  The Executive and the Company recognize
      that due to the nature of the Executive's engagement hereunder and the
      relationship of the Executive to the Company, the Executive has had and will
      have access to, has had and will acquire, and has assisted and may continue
      to
      assist in, developing confidential and proprietary information relating to
      the
      business and operations of the Company and its affiliates, including, without
      limitation, Trade Secrets.  The Executive acknowledges that such
      information has been and will be of central importance to the business of the
      Company and its affiliates and that disclosure of it to, or its use by, others
      (including, without limitation, the Executive (other than with respect to the
      Company's business and affairs)) could cause substantial loss to the
      Company.

    

    The
      Executive and the Company also
      recognize that an important part of the Executive's duties will be to develop
      good will for the Company and its affiliates through the Executive's personal
      contact with Clients (as defined below), employees, and others having business
      relationships with the Company, and that there is a danger that this good will,
      a proprietary asset of the Company, may follow the Executive if and when the
      Executive's relationship with the Company is terminated.  The
      Executive accordingly agrees that the Executive will not at any time during
      the
      Employment Term or for a period of twelve months thereafter: (A) (other than
      in
      the course of the Executive's employment) disclose or furnish to any other
      person or, directly or indirectly, use for the Executive's own account or the
      account of any other person, any Trade Secrets, no matter from where or in
      what
      manner he may have acquired such Trade Secrets, and the Executive shall retain
      all such Trade Secrets in trust for the benefit of the Company, its affiliates
      and the successors and assigns of any of them, (B) directly or through one
      or
      more intermediaries, solicit for employment or recommend to any subsequent
      employer of the Executive the solicitation for employment of, any person who,
      at
      the time of such solicitation, is employed by the Company or any affiliate,
      (C)
      directly or indirectly, whether for the Executive's own account or for the
      account of any other person, solicit, divert, or endeavor to entice away from
      the Company or any entity controlled by the Company, or otherwise engage in
      any
      activity intended to terminate, disrupt, or interfere with, the Company's or
      any
      of its affiliates’ relationships with, Clients, or otherwise adversely affect
      the Company's or any of its affiliates' relationships with Clients or other
      business relationships of the Company or any affiliate thereof, or (D) publish
      or make any statement critical of the Company or any shareholder or affiliate
      of
      the Company or in any way adversely affect or otherwise malign the business
      or
      reputation of any of the foregoing persons (any activity described in clause
      (A), (B), (C) or (D) of this Section being referred to as a Prohibited
      Activity”); provided, however, that if in the written opinion of counsel, the
      Executive is legally compelled to disclose Trade Secrets to any tribunal or
      else
      stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar censure or penalty, then
      the
      disclosure to such tribunal of only those Trade Secrets which such counsel
      advises in writing are legally required to be disclosed shall not constitute
      a
      Prohibited Activity provided that the Executive shall give the Company as much
      advance notice of such disclosure as is reasonably practicable.  As
      used herein, the term “Clients” shall mean those persons who, at any time during
      the Executive's course of employment with the Company (including, without
      limitation, prior to the date of this Agreement) are or were clients or
      customers of the Company or any affiliate thereof or any predecessor of any
      of
      the foregoing.

     

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c)  Remedies.  The
      Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section would result
      in
      irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have
      no
      adequate remedy at law. The Executive therefore agrees that in the event of
      said
      breach or any threat of breach, and upon proof satisfactory to the court, the
      Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order
      to
      prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the
      Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with
      the
      Executive, without having to prove damages. The terms of this paragraph shall
      not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies to which
      the
      Company may be entitled at law or in equity for any breach or threatened breach
      hereof, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from the Executive.
      The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive any termination of this
      Agreement.

    

    (d)  Proprietary
      Information and Inventions.  The Executive agrees that any and all
      inventions, discoveries, improvements, processes, formulae, business application
      software, patents, copyrights and trademarks made, developed, discovered or
      acquired by him prior to and during the Employment Term, solely or jointly
      with
      others or otherwise, which relate to the business of the Company, and all
      knowledge possessed by the Executive relating thereto collectively, the
“Inventions”), shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the Board of Directors
      and to such person or persons as the Board of Directors shall direct and the
      Executive irrevocably assigns to the Company all of the Executive's right,
      title
      and interest in and to all Inventions of the Company and all such Inventions
      shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company and the Company shall
      be
      the sole and absolute owner thereof.  The Executive agrees that he
      will at all  times keep all Inventions secret from everyone except the
      Company and such persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time
      direct.  The Executive shall, as requested by the Company at any time
      and from time to time, whether prior to or after the expiration of the
      Employment Term, execute and deliver to the Company any instruments deemed
      necessary by the Company to effect disclosure and assignment of the Inventions
      to the Company or its designees and any patent applications (United States
      or
      foreign) and renewals with respect thereto, including any other instruments
      deemed necessary by the Company for the prosecution of patent applications,
      the
      acquisition of letters patent and/or the acquisition of patents or copyrights
      in
      any and all countries and to vest title thereto in the Company or its
      nominee.

     

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    6.           Representations
      and Warranties of the Executive.  The Executive represents
      and warrants to the Company that:

    

    (i)  Except
      as set forth in
      paragraph 2, above, the Executive's employment by the Company as contemplated
      will not conflict with, and will not be constrained by, any prior or current
      employment, consulting agreement or relationship, whether written or oral;
      and

    

    (ii)  The
      Executive does not
      possess confidential information arising out of any employment, consulting
      agreement or relationship with any person or entity other than the Company
      which
      could be utilized in connection with the Executive's employment by the
      Company.

    

    7.           Binding
      Effect or Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
      be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, executors,
      representatives, estates, successors and assigns, including any successor or
      assign to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company,
      whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, acquisition
      of
      stock, or otherwise; provided, however, that no party hereto shall assign all
      or
      any portion of the such party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement
      without the prior written consent of the other party.

    

    8.           Notices.  All
      notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in
      writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as of the date
      delivered, mailed or transmitted, and shall be effective upon
      receipt.

    

    9.           Amendment
      and Modification.  No provision of this Agreement may be
      modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge
      is
      agreed to in writing and signed by each of the Executive and the Company. No
      such waiver or discharge by either party hereto at any time or any waiver or
      discharge of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any
      condition or provision of this agreement to be performed by such other party,
      shall be deemed a waiver or discharge of similar or dissimilar provisions or
      conditions, or a waiver or discharge of any breach of any provisions, at the
      same or at any prior or subsequent time.

    

    10.           Governing
      Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
      accordance with the laws of California without giving effect to the conflict
      of
      law principles of that state.

    

    11.           Severability.  In
      the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
      held
      to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
      illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other portion of this
      Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision had never
      been contained herein.

    

    12.           Withholding
      Taxes.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
      contrary, all payments required to be made hereunder by the Company to the
      Executive, or his estate or beneficiaries, shall be subject to the withholding
      of such amounts as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold
      pursuant to any applicable federal, state or local law or
      regulation.

     

    
 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    13.           Arbitration
      of Disputes. The parties hereto mutually consent to the resolution by
      arbitration of all claims and controversies arising out of or relating to this
      Agreement.

    

    14.           Counterparts.  This
      Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
      the
      same instrument.

    

    15.           Entire
      Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
      between the parties and supersedes any and all prior agreements, written or
      oral, understandings and arrangements, either oral or written, between the
      parties with respect to the subject matter, and shall, as of the date hereof,
      constitute the only employment agreement between the parties.

    

    16.           Further
      Assurances.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
      done and performed, all further acts and things and shall execute and deliver
      all other agreements, certificates, instruments, and documents as any other
      party reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish
      the
      purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated.

    

    17.           Construction.
      The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
      shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning or interpretation of this
      Agreement.
