The employment of Employee under this Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term only as follows, subject
to the conditions set forth below:

 

3.2.1.      By Employer with or without Cause at any time upon written notice to Employee, or upon the death or Permanent Disability of Employee,

Section 4 on the effective date of the termination;

 

3.2.2.      By Employee:

Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while its contract obligations were suspended; and/or

over to the next year a maximum of forty (40) hours of leave from any year in which leave is not used. Employee may have an aggregate
carry over maximum of forty (40) hours. For example if forty (40) hours of leave is not used in year one and forty (40) hours of

In the event that Employee is required by law to disclose any Information, Employee shall not make such disclosure unless (and
then only to the extent that) Employee has been advised by the Company's legal counsel that such disclosure is required by law
and then only after prior written notice is given to Employer as soon as Employee becomes aware that such disclosure has been requested
or may be required by law. Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to Information for so long as
such information remains Confidential Information or a Trade Secret.

 

5.3         Delivery

of Employer), on Employee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to
solicit, divert or appropriate, directly or by assisting others, any business from any of Employer's customers, including actively
sought prospective customers, with whom Employee has or had material contact during the last one (1) year of Employee's employment,
for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with those provided by Employer.

 

8.           NON-SOLICITATION
OF EMPLOYEES. During the Term and, in the event of Employee's termination of employment, regardless of the reason for such
termination, thereafter for a period of six (6) months, Employee will not, on Employee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf
of others, solicit, recruit or hire away or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire away, directly or by assisting others, any employee
of Employer, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of Employer and whether or not such employment
is pursuant to written agreement and whether or not such employment is for a determined period or is at will.

 

9.           REMEDIES.

necessary to protect the business, interests and properties of Employer. Irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by Employer
if Employee breaches any of those covenants. In addition to all other remedies provided by law or in equity, Employer shall be
entitled to injunctive relief to prevent a breach or potential breach of any of the covenants.

 

10.         SEVERABILITY.
Each provision of this Agreement is separate, distinct and severable from the other provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability

this Agreement is ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, Employer and Employee expressly direct and
authorize that court to modify the provision and to enforce it as modified.

 

11.         NO
SET-OFF BY EMPLOYEE. The existence of any claim, demand, action or cause of action by Employee against Employer, whether predicated
