Exhibit 10.2

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Indemnification Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of [                    ], 2009 by
and between Linkage Technologies International Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the
“Company”) and the undersigned, a director and/or officer of the Company (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

     1. The Company recognizes that highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve
corporations as directors or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection
through insurance or adequate indemnification against risks of claims and actions against them
arising out of their services to the corporation.

     2. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the inability to
attract and retain highly competent persons to serve the Company is detrimental to the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders and that it is reasonable and necessary for the
Company to provide adequate protection to such persons against risks of claims and actions against
them arising out of their services to the corporation.

     3. The Company is willing to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, and Indemnitee is willing to serve and continue to serve the Company on the
condition that he be so indemnified.

AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and
Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

A. DEFINITIONS

     The following terms shall have the meanings defined below:

     Expenses shall include damages, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements and costs, attorneys’
fees and disbursements and costs of attachment or similar bond, investigations, and any expenses
paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in
(including on appeal), or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding.

     Indemnifiable Event means any event or occurrence that takes place either before or after the
execution of this Agreement, related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or an officer
of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity, or was a director or officer of an
entity that was a predecessor of the Company or another entity at the request of such predecessor
entity, or related to anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.

     Participant means a person who is a party to, or witness or participant (including on appeal)
in, a Proceeding.

 

 

     Proceeding means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any
inquiry, hearing or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other,
in which Indemnitee may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise by reason of an
Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed action,
suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company.

B. AGREEMENT TO INDEMNIFY

     1. General Agreement. In the event Indemnitee was, is, or becomes a Participant in,
or is threatened to be made a Participant in, a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify the
Indemnitee from and against any and all Expenses which Indemnitee incurs or becomes obligated to
incur in connection with such Proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

     2. Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits in
defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in such Proceeding,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding or
such claim, issue or matter, as the case may be.

     3. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses, but not for the total amount
of Expenses, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which
Indemnitee is entitled.

     4. Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee
shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:

     (a) to the extent that payment is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid, enforceable and
collectible insurance policy;

     (b) in connection with a judicial action by or in the right of the Company, in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee shall have been adjudicated by final judgment in
a court of law to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his
duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that any court in which such action was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
Expenses as such court shall deem proper;

     (c) in connection with any Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any
director or officer of the Company, and not by way of defense, unless (i) the Company has joined in
or the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding; or (ii) the Proceeding is one to
enforce indemnification rights under this Agreement or any applicable law;

     (d) for a disgorgement of profits made from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of
securities pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any applicable
U.S. state statutory law or common law;

2

 

     (e) brought about by the dishonesty or fraud of the Indemnitee seeking payment hereunder;
provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall be protected under this Agreement as to any claims
upon which suit may be brought against him by reason of any alleged dishonesty on his part, unless
a judgment or other final adjudication thereof adverse to the Indemnitee establishes that he
committed (i) acts of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) with actual dishonest purpose and
intent, and (iii) which acts were material to the cause of action so adjudicated;

     (f) for any judgment, fine or penalty which the Company is prohibited by applicable law from
paying as indemnity; or

     (g) arising out of Indemnitee’s breach of an employment agreement with the Company (if any) or
any other agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     5. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in
Indemnitee any right to continued employment with the Company.

     6. Contribution. If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable and
may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in Section 4, then the
Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Indemnitee on the other hand
from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company
on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which
resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments,
fines or settlement amounts. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method
of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

C. INDEMNIFICATION PROCESS

     1. Notice and Cooperation By Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent
to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as
practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought
under this Agreement, provided that the delay of Indemnitee to give notice hereunder shall not
prejudice any of Indemnitee’s rights hereunder, unless such delay results in the Company’s
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses. Notice to the Company shall be given in accordance
with Section F.7 below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and
cooperation as the Company may reasonably request.

     2. Indemnification Payment.

     (a) Advancement of Expenses. Indemnitee may submit a written request to the Company
requesting that the Company advance to Indemnitee all Expenses that may be reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding as such Expenses are

3

 

incurred. The Company shall, within ten business days of receiving such a written request by
Indemnitee, advance all requested Expenses to Indemnitee.

     (b) Reimbursement of Expenses. To the extent Indemnitee has not requested any advanced
payment of Expenses from the Company, Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for the
Expenses incurred in connection with a Proceeding from the Company immediately after Indemnitee
makes a written request to the Company for reimbursement.

     (c) Determination by the Reviewing Party. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary,
in the event the Reviewing Party informs the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee for all the Expenses previously advanced or
otherwise paid to Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however,
that Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his indemnification right in accordance with Section
C.3 below.

     3. Suit to Enforce Rights. Regardless of any action by the Reviewing Party, if
Indemnitee has not received full indemnification within 30 days after making a written demand in
accordance with Section C.2 above, Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce its indemnification
rights under this Agreement by commencing litigation in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking
a determination by the court or challenging any determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect
of the Agreement. Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by Indemnitee and any
judgment entered by the court shall be binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

     4. Assumption of Defense. In the event the Company is obligated under this Agreement
to advance any Expenses for any Proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company shall be entitled to
assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon delivery to
Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of
such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not
be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee
has been previously authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded,
based on written advice of counsel, that there may be a conflict of interest of such counsel
retained by the Company between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or
(iii) the Company ceases or terminates the employment of such counsel with respect to the defense
of such Proceeding, in any of which events the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be
at the expense of the Company. At all times, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in
any Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense.

     5. Defense to Indemnification, Burden of Proof and Presumptions. It shall be a
defense to any action brought by Indemnitee against the Company to enforce this Agreement that it
is not permissible under this Agreement or applicable law for the Company to indemnify the
Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any determination by the
Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified under this
Agreement, the burden of proving such a defense or determination shall be on the Company. Neither
the failure of the Reviewing Party or the Company to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action by Indemnitee that indemnification is proper under the circumstances
because Indemnitee has met the standard

4

 

of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party or the
Company that Indemnitee had not met such applicable standard of conduct shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

     6. No Settlement Without Consent. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any
manner that would impose any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s
prior written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent
to any proposed settlement, provided that Indemnitee may withhold his consent if any proposed
settlement imposes any damage, loss, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee.

     7. Company Participation. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee
under this Agreement with regard to any judicial action if the Company was not given a reasonable
and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action, unless such
lack of opportunity does not result in the Company’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses.

     8. Reviewing Party.

          (a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Reviewing Party with respect to each indemnification
request of Indemnitee shall by (A) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting
of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (B) if a quorum of the Board of Directors
consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, said Disinterested
Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy
of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and, if it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten days after such determination.
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with
respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons
or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged
or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to such determination. Any Independent Counsel or member of the Board of
Directors shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination under the Agreement of
the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees
and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold
Indemnitee harmless therefrom. “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company
who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by
Indemnitee.

          (b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 8(b). The
Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such
selection be made by the Board of Directors, in which event the preceding sentence shall apply),
and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the
Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be,
may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the
Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be,

5

 

a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted
only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of
“Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 8(d) of this Agreement, and the objection shall
set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely
objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made
and substantiated, the Independent Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and
until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit.
If, within 20 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification, no
Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee
may petition the a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have
been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for
the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as
the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or
the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel. The Company shall pay any and all
reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in
connection with acting under this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 8(b), regardless of the manner in which such
Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

          (c) In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
Reviewing Party shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with this Agreement, and
the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the
making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order,
settlement (with or without court approval), conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself
adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee
did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. For purposes of any determination of
good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based
on the records or books of account of the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the written request of the Company
as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers and directors of the Company or such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity in the course of their duties, or on the
advice of legal counsel for the Company or such other corporation, partnership, joint venture or
other entity or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity by an independent certified public
accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or such
other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity. In addition, the knowledge and/or
actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or such
other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity shall not be imputed to Indemnitee
for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. The provisions of
this Section 8(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other
circumstances in which the

6

 

Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this
Agreement.

          (d) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is
experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has
been, retained to represent (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such
party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of
other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the
Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The
Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully
indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

D. DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY INSURANCE

     1. Good Faith Determination. The Company shall from time to time make the good faith
determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or
policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of
the Company with coverage for losses incurred in connection with their services to the Company or
to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement.

     2. Coverage of Indemnitee. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or
policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by
such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the
coverage available for any of the Company’s directors or officers.

     3. No Obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation
to obtain or maintain any director and officer insurance policy if the Company determines in good
faith that such insurance is not reasonably available in the case that (i) premium costs for such
insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or (ii) the coverage provided by
such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit.

E. NON-EXCLUSIVITY; FEDERAL PREEMPTION; TERM

     1. Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s current
memorandum and articles of association, applicable law or any written agreement between Indemnitee
and the Company (including its subsidiaries and affiliates). The indemnification provided under
this Agreement shall continue to be available to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while
serving in an indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in any such capacity at
the time of any Proceeding.

     2. Federal Preemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both the Company and Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, U.S. federal law or public policy may

7

 

override applicable law and prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under
this Agreement or otherwise. Such instances include, but are not limited to, the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission’s prohibition on indemnification for liabilities arising under certain U.S.
federal securities laws. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken
or may be required in the future to undertake with the SEC to submit the question of
indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right
under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

     3. Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained
herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee is an officer and/or a director of the Company
(or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue
thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding by reason of his former or
current capacity at the Company, whether or not he is acting or serving in any such capacity at the
time any expense is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement. This
Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as an
officer and/or a director of the Company or any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

F. MISCELLANEOUS

     1. Amendment of this Agreement. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions (whether or not
similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided in
this Agreement, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy shall
constitute a waiver.

     2. Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee by the Company under this
Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of
recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be
necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the
Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     3. Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or
obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party; except that the Company may, without such consent, assign all such rights and
obligations to a successor in interest to the Company which assumes all obligations of the Company
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the parties hereto and the Company’s
successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation, or
otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) and assigns, as
well as Indemnitee’s spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. As a condition to any
purchase, merger, consolidation or other business combination transaction involving the Company,
the Company’s successor shall expressly assume the obligations under this Agreement.

     4. Severability and Construction. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or
shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable
law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to a court order, to perform its

8

 

obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. In addition, if
any portion of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
void, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law. The parties hereto acknowledge that they each have
opportunities to have their respective counsels review this Agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement
shall be deemed to be the product of both of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be
construed in favor of or against either of the parties hereto.

     5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, both of which
taken together shall constitute one instrument.

     6. Governing Law. This agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to conflicts of
law provisions thereof.

     7. Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications required or permitted
under this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, and addressed to the Company at:

(2) the Executive has been negligent or acted dishonestly to the detriment of the
Company, (3) the Executive has engaged in actions
amounting to misconduct or failed to perform his/her duties hereunder and such

	 	 	 	opportunity to cure
such failure, (4) the Executive has died, or (5) the Executive has a disability
which shall mean a physical or mental impairment, as determined under the
long-term disability insurance program of the Company or, as reasonably determined
by the Board, which renders the Executive unable to carry out the responsibilities
and functions of the position held by the Executive for a period of not less than
180 consecutive days in any 12-month period, unless a longer period is required by
applicable law, in which case that longer period would apply. In addition, the
Company may terminate the Employment without cause, at any time, upon one-month
prior written notice to the Executive. Upon termination without cause, the
Company shall provide compensation to the Executive as expressly required by
applicable law of the jurisdiction where the Executive is based.
	 
	 	(b)	 	By the Executive. The Executive may resign upon one-month prior
written notice to the Company.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notice of Termination. Any termination of the Executive’s employment
under this Agreement shall be communicated by written notice of termination from the
terminating party to the other party. The notice of termination shall indicate the
specific provision(s) zof this Agreement relied upon in effecting the termination.

	8.	 	CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE

	 	(a)	 	Confidentiality and Non-disclosure. In the course of the Executive’s
services, the Executive may have access to the Company and/or the Company’s client’s
and/or prospective client’s trade secrets and confidential information, including but
not limited to those embodied in memoranda, manuals, letters or other documents,
computer disks, tapes or other information storage devices, hardware, or other media
or vehicles, pertaining to the Company and/or the Company’s client’s and/or
prospective client’s business. All such trade secrets and confidential information
are considered confidential. All materials containing any such trade secret and
confidential information are the property of the Company and/or the Company’s client
and/or prospective client, and shall be returned to the Company and/or the Company’s
client and/or prospective client upon expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement. The Executive shall not directly or indirectly disclose or use any such
trade secret or confidential information, except as required in the performance of the
Executive’s duties in connection with the Employment, or pursuant to applicable law.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Trade Secrets. During and after the Employment, the Executive shall
hold the Trade Secrets in strict confidence; the Executive shall not disclose these
Trade Secrets to anyone except other employees of the Company who have a need to know
the Trade Secrets in connection with the Company’s business. The Executive shall not
use the Trade Secrets other than for the benefits of the Company.
	 
	 	 	 	“Trade Secrets” means information deemed confidential by the Company,
treated by the Company or which the Executive know or ought reasonably to

3

 

	 	 	 	have known to be confidential, and trade secrets, including without limitation designs,
processes, pricing policies, methods, inventions, conceptions, technology,
technical data, financial information, corporate structure and know-how, relating
to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates and
business associates, whether embodied in memoranda, manuals, letters or other
documents, computer disks, tapes or other information storage devices, hardware,
or other media or vehicles. Trade Secrets do not include information generally
known or released to public domain through no fault of the Executive.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Former Employer Information. The Executive agrees that he/she has
not and will not, during the term of his/her employment, (i) improperly use or
disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer, unless
the former employer has been acquired by the Company, or other person or entity with
which the Executive has an agreement or duty to keep in confidence information
acquired by Executive, if any, or (ii) bring into the premises of Company any document
or confidential or proprietary information belonging to such former employer, person
or entity unless consented to in writing by such former employer, person or entity.
The Executive will indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against all
claims, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any violation of the foregoing.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Third Party Information. The Executive recognizes that the Company
may have received, and in the future may receive, from third parties their
confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Company’s part to
maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain
limited purposes. The Executive agrees that the Executive owes the Company and such
third parties, during the Executive’s employment by the Company and thereafter, a duty
to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence
and not to disclose it to any person or firm and to use it in a manner consistent
with, and for the limited purposes permitted by, the Company’s agreement with such
third party.

	 	 	This Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the
event the Executive breaches this Section 9, the Company shall have right to seek remedies
permissible under applicable law.
	 
	9.	 	INVENTIONS

	 	(a)	 	Inventions Retained and Licensed. The Executive has attached hereto,
as Schedule B, a list describing all inventions, ideas, improvements, designs
and discoveries, whether or not patentable and whether or not reduced to practice,
original works of authorship and trade secrets made or conceived by or belonging to
the Executive (whether made solely by the Executive or jointly with others) that (i)
were developed by Executive prior to the Executive’s employment by the Company
(collectively, “Prior Inventions”), (ii) relate to the Company’ actual or
proposed business, products or research and development, and (iii) are not assigned to
the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, the Executive represents that
there are no such Prior Inventions. Except to the extent set forth in Schedule
B, the Executive hereby acknowledges that, if in the course of his/her service for the Company, the
Executive incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior
Invention owned by the Executive or in which he or she has an interest,

4

 

	 	 	 	the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free,
irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right and license (which may be freely
transferred by the Company to any other person or entity) to make, have made,
modify, use, sell, sublicense and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as
part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Disclosure and Assignment of Inventions. The Executive understands
that the Company engages in research and development and other activities in
connection with its business and that, as an essential part of the Employment, the
Executive is expected to make new contributions to and create inventions of value for
the Company.
	 
	 	 	 	From and after the Effective Date, the Executive shall disclose in confidence to
the Company all inventions, improvements, designs, original works of authorship,
formulas, processes, compositions of matter, computer software programs,
databases, mask works and trade secrets (collectively, the “Inventions”),
which the Executive may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to
practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the
period of the Executive’s Employment at the Company. The Executive acknowledges
that copyrightable works prepared by the Executive within the scope of and during
the period of the Executive’s Employment with the Company are “works for hire” and
that the Company will be considered the author thereof. The Executive agrees that
all the Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and the
Executive hereby assign all his/her right, title and interest in and to any and
all of the Inventions to the Company or its successor in interest without further
consideration.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Patent and Copyright Registration. The Executive agrees to assist the
Company in every proper way to obtain for the Company and enforce patents, copyrights,
mask work rights, trade secret rights, and other legal protection for the Inventions.
The Executive will execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request for
use in obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade
secrets and other legal protections. The Executive’s obligations under this paragraph
will continue beyond the termination of the Employment with the Company, provided that
the Company will reasonably compensate the Executive after such termination for time
or expenses actually spent by the Executive at the Company’s request on such
assistance. The Executive appoints the Secretary of the Company as the Executive’s
attorney-in-fact to execute documents on the Executive’s behalf for this purpose.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Return of Confidential Material. In the event of the Executive’s
termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, Executive agrees
promptly to surrender and deliver to the Company all records, materials, equipment,
drawings, documents and data of any nature pertaining to any confidential information
or to his/her employment, and Executive will not retain or take with him or her any
tangible materials or electronically stored data, containing or pertaining to any
confidential information that Executive may produce, acquire or obtain access to
during the course of his/her employment.

	 	 	This Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In
the event the Executive breaches this Section 10, the Company shall have right to seek
remedies permissible under applicable law.

5

 

	10.	 	CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT.
	 
	 	 	The Executive hereby agrees that, during the term of his/her employment with the Company,
he will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business
activity related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved
during the term of the Executive’s employment, nor will the Executive engage in any other
activities that conflict with his/her obligations to the Company without the prior written
consent of the Company.
	 
	11.	 	NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION
	 
	 	 	In consideration of the base salary provided to the Executive by the Company hereunder, the
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the Executive agree that
during the term of the Employment and for a period of two years following the termination
of the Employment for whatever reason:

	 	(a)	 	The Executive will not approach clients, customers or contacts of the Company
or other persons or entities introduced to the Executive in the Executive’s capacity
as a representative of the Company for the purposes of doing business with such
persons or entities which will harm the business relationship between the Company and
such persons and/or entities;
	 
	 	(b)	 	unless expressly consented to by the Company, the Executive will not assume
employment with or provide services as a director or otherwise for any Competitor, or
engage, whether as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, in any Competitor; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	unless expressly consented to by the Company, the Executive will not seek
directly or indirectly, by the offer of alternative employment or other inducement
whatsoever, to solicit the services of any employee of the Company employed as at or
after the date of such termination, or in the year preceding such termination.

	 	 	The provisions contained in Section 12 are considered reasonable by the Executive and the
Company. In the event that any such provisions should be found to be void under applicable
laws but would be valid if some part thereof was deleted or the period or area of
application reduced, such provisions shall apply with such modification as may be necessary
to make them valid and effective.
	 
	 	 	This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the
event the Executive breaches this Section 12, the Executive acknowledges that there will be
no adequate remedy at law, and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a
decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary
damages if appropriate). In any event, the Company shall have right to seek all remedies
permissible under applicable law.
	 
	12.	 	WITHHOLDING TAXES
	 
	 	 	Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold (or cause
there to be withheld, as the case may be) from any amounts otherwise due or payable under
or pursuant to this Agreement such national, provincial, local or any
other income, employment, or other taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any
applicable law or regulation.

	13.	 	ASSIGNMENT
	 
	 	 	This Agreement is personal in its nature and neither of the parties hereto shall, without
the consent of the other, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Company may assign or transfer this Agreement or
any rights or obligations hereunder to any member of the Group without such consent, and
(ii) in the event of a merger, consolidation, or transfer or sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the company with or to any other individual(s) or entity, this
Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises,
covenants, duties, and obligations of the Company hereunder.
	 
	14.	 	SEVERABILITY
	 
	 	 	If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the
invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Agreement which can be
given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end the provisions
of this Agreement are declared to be severable.
	 
	15.	 	ENTIRE AGREEMENT
	 
	 	 	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Executive and
the Company regarding the terms of the Employment and supersedes all prior or
contemporaneous oral or written agreements concerning such subject matter. The Executive
acknowledges that he has not entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any
representation, warranty or undertaking which is not set forth in this Agreement. Any
amendment to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Executive and the Company.

formal, definitive written agreement expressly referring to this Agreement, which agreement
is executed by both of the parties hereto.
	 
	18.	 	WAIVER
	 
	 	 	Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy,
power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or
further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any
waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed
as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.
No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the party asserted
to have granted such waiver.

	19.	 	NOTICES
	 
	 	 	All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if (i)
delivered by hand, (ii) otherwise delivered against receipt therefor, or (iii) sent by a
recognized courier with next-day or second-day delivery to the last known address of the
other party.
	 
	20.	 	COUNTERPARTS
	 
	 	 	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when one
or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of
all of the parties reflected hereon as the signatories. Photographic copies of such signed
counterparts may be used in lieu of the originals for any purpose.
	 
	21.	 	NO INTERPRETATION AGAINST DRAFTER
