    5.1 Executive
      Representation.
      The
      Executive represents that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement and the

      other employment or other agreement nor a breach of any non-competition or
      similar agreement.

    

    5.2 Non-Competition.
      (a) The

      or
      participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business
      which directly or indirectly competes with the business of the Company. The
      Executive acknowledges and agrees that the current market for the Company's
      business extends throughout the world and that it is therefore reasonable to
      prohibit the Executive from competing with the Company anywhere in such
      territory. This Section shall not apply to the Executive’s ownership of less
      than five percent (5%) of the capital stock of a company having a class of

      lecturing to any persons or organizations or consulting with other companies.

      of
      the employees or agents of the Company, or any person who was an employee or
      agent of the Company during the Term, to leave the employ of the Company or
      terminate or alter their contractual relationship in a way that is adverse
      to
      the Company's interests, (ii) solicit or divert business from the Company,
      or
      assist any person or entity in doing so or attempting to do so or (iii) cause
      or
      seek to cause any person or entity to refrain from dealing or doing business
      with the Company or assist any person or entity in doing so or attempting to
      do
      so.

      Executive agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions and the
      duration and the territorial scope thereof as set forth in Section 5.2 are
      under
      all of the circumstances reasonable and necessary for the protection of the
      Company and its business. In the event that the Executive shall breach or
      threaten to breach any of the provisions of Section 5.2, in addition to and
      without limiting or waiving any other remedies available to the Company, at
      law
      or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief
      in
      any court, domestic or foreign, having the capacity to grant such relief, to
      restrain any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce the provisions
      of

      Company. These records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and
      any
      other format that may be specified by the Company. These records will be
      available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all
      times.

    

    (d)
       Determination
      of Subject Ideas and Inventions.
      I
      further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process,
      trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer hardware or software,
      data, code, original work of authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent,
      copyright, product, and all improvements, know-how, rights, and claims related
      to the foregoing ("Intellectual
      Property"),
      that
      I do not believe to be a Subject Idea or Invention, but that is conceived,
      developed, or reduced to practice by the Company (alone by me or with others)
      during the Period of Employment and for one (1) year thereafter, shall be
      disclosed promptly by me to the Company (such disclosure to be received in
      confidence). The Company shall examine such information to determine if in
      fact
      the Intellectual Property is a Subject Idea or Invention subject to this
      Agreement.

    

    (e)
       Obligation
      to Keep the Company Informed.
      During
      the period of my engagement and for six (6) months after termination of my
      engagement by the Company, I shall promptly disclose to the Company fully and
      in
      writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either
      alone or jointly with others. In addition, I shall promptly disclose to the
      Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after
      termination of my engagement by the Company. 

    

    (f)
       Access.
      Because
      of the difficulty of establishing when any Subject Ideas or Inventions are
      first
      conceived by me, or whether they result from my access to Confidential
      Information or Company Materials, I agree that any Subject Idea and Invention
      shall, among other circumstances, be deemed to have resulted from my access
      to
      Company Materials if: (i) it grew out of or resulted from my work with the
      Company or is related to the business of the Company, and (ii) it is made,
      used,
      sold, exploited or reduced to practice, or an application for patent, trademark,
      copyright or other proprietary protection is filed thereon, by me or with my
      significant aid, within one (1) year after termination of the Period of
      Employment.

    

    (g)
       Assistance.
      I
      further agree to assist the Company in every proper way (but at the Company's
      expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents, copyrights or other
      rights or registrations on said Subject Ideas and Inventions in any and all
      countries, and to that end will execute all documents necessary: (i) to apply
      for, obtain and vest in the name of the Company alone (unless the Company
      otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection
      in
      any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and
      restore the same; and (ii) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect
      of
      such applications and any opposition proceedings or petitions or applications
      for revocation of such letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection;
      and (iii) to cooperate with the Company (but at the Company's expense) in any
      enforcement or infringement proceeding on such letters patent, copyright or
      other analogous protection.

    (h)
       Authorization
      to Company.
      In the
      event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature
      on
      any patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to a Subject Idea
      and Invention, whether because of my physical or mental incapacity or for any
      other reason whatsoever, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company
      and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney-in-fact,
      to
      act for and on my behalf and stead to execute and file any such application,
      applications or other documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts
      to
      further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of letters patent, copyright
      or other analogous rights or protections thereon with the same legal force
      and
      effect as if executed by me. My obligation to assist the Company in obtaining
      and enforcing patents and copyrights for Subject Ideas and Inventions in any
      and
      all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my relationship with
      the
      Company, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after such
      termination for time actually spent by me at the Company's request on such
      assistance.

    

    (i)
       Existing
      Ideas.
      I
      acknowledge that there are no currently existing ideas, processes, inventions,
      discoveries, marketing or business ideas or improvements which I desire to
      exclude from the operation of this Agreement. To the best of my knowledge,
      there
      is no other contract to assign inventions, trademarks, copyrights, ideas,
      processes, discoveries or other intellectual property that is now in existence
      between me and any other person (including any business or governmental
      entity).

    

    4.
       Termination
      Obligations.

    

    (a)
       Upon
      the
      termination of my relationship with the Company or promptly upon the Company's
      request, I shall surrender to the Company all equipment, tangible Confidential
      Information, documents, books, notebooks, records, reports, notes, memoranda,
      drawings, sketches, models, maps, contracts, lists, computer disks (and other
      computer-generated files and data), any other data and records of any kind,
      and
      copies thereof, created on any medium and furnished to, obtained by, or prepared
      by myself in the course of or incident to my employment, that are in my
      possession or under my control.

    

    (b)
       Following
      any termination of the Period of Employment, I will fully cooperate with the
      Company in all matters relating to my continuing obligations under this
      Agreement.

    

    (c)
       In
      the
      event that I leave the employ of the Company I hereby grant consent to
      notification by the Company to my new employer about my rights and obligations
      under this Agreement.

    

    
      
         

      

      
        -
          4 -

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (d)
       Upon
      termination of the Period of Employment, I will execute a Certificate
      acknowledging compliance with this Agreement in the form reasonably provided
      by
      the Company.

    

    5.
       Injunctive
      Relief.
      I
      acknowledge that my failure to carry out any obligation under this Agreement,
      or
      a breach or threatened breach by me of any provision herein, will constitute
      immediate and irreparable damage to the Company, which cannot be fully and
      adequately compensated in money damages and which will warrant preliminary
      and
      other injunctive relief, an order for specific performance, and other equitable
      relief. I further agree that no bond or other security shall be required in
      obtaining such equitable relief and I hereby consent to the issuance of such
      injunction and to the ordering of specific performance. I also understand that
      other action may be taken and remedies enforced against me.

    

    6.
       General
      Provisions.
      

    

    (a)
       Modification;
      Non-waiver.
      No
      modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed
      by both parties. The failure of either the Company or me, whether purposeful
      or
      otherwise, to exercise in any instance any right, power or privilege under
      this
      Agreement or under law shall not constitute a waiver of any other right, power
      or privilege, nor of the same right, power or privilege in any other instance.
      Any waiver by the Company or by me must be in writing and signed by either
      myself, if I am seeking to waive any of my rights under this Agreement, or
      by an
      officer of the Company (other than me) or some other person duly authorized
      by
      the Company.

    

    (b)
       Binding
      Effect.
      This
      Agreement shall be binding upon me, my heirs, executors, assigns and
      administrators and is for the benefit of the Company and its successors and
      assigns.

    

    (c) Governing
      Law.
      This
      Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and all actions arising under
      or in connection therewith shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State
      of Nevada (without reference to conflict of law principles).

    

    (d)
       Entire
      Agreement.
      This
      Agreement sets forth the parties' mutual rights and obligations with respect
      to
      the subject matter of this Agreement. It is intended to be the final, complete,
      and exclusive statement of the terms of the parties' agreements regarding these
      subjects. This Agreement supersedes all other prior and contemporaneous
      agreements and statements on these subjects, and it may not be contradicted
      by
      evidence of any prior or contemporaneous statements or agreements. 

    

    (e)
       Attorneys'
      Fees.
      Should
      the Company, or any successor or assign of the Company, resort to legal
      proceedings to enforce this Agreement, the Company in such legal proceeding
      shall be awarded, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, attorneys'
      fees and costs incurred in connection with such proceeding.

    (g)
       Severability;
      Rights Cumulative.
      If any
      term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application
      thereof to any person, place or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid,
      unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such term, provision,
      covenant or condition as applied to other persons, places and circumstances
      shall remain in full force and effect. The rights and remedies provided by
      this
      Agreement are cumulative, and the exercise of any right or remedy by either
      the
      Company or me (or by that party's successor), whether pursuant hereto, to any
      other agreement, or to law, shall not preclude or waive that party's right
      to
      exercise any or all other rights and remedies. This Agreement will inure to
      the
      benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

    

    (h)
       Notices.
      Any
      notice, request, consent or approval required or permitted to be given under
      this Agreement or pursuant to law shall be sufficient if it is in writing,
      and
      if and when it is hand delivered or sent by regular mail, with postage prepaid,
      to my residence (as noted in the Company's records), or to the Company's
      principal office, as the case may be.

    

    (i)
       Assignment.
      This
      Agreement may not be assigned without the Company's prior written
      consent.

    

    (j)
       Employee
      Acknowledgment.
      I
      acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to consult legal counsel in regard
      to this Agreement, that I have read and understand this Agreement, that I am
      fully aware of its legal effect, and that I have entered into it freely and
      voluntarily and based on my own judgment and not on any representations or
      promises other than those contained in this Agreement.

    

    IN
      WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date
      set
      forth below.

    

    CAUTION:
      THIS AGREEMENT CREATES IMPORTANT OBLIGATIONS OF TRUST AND AFFECTS THE EMPLOYEE'S
      RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THE EMPLOYEE MAY DEVELOP
      DURING HIS EMPLOYMENT.
