      obligation to the Employee or the Employee's estate with respect to this
      Agreement, except for payment of salary and bonus amounts, if any, accrued
      pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) hereof and unpaid at the Termination Date,
      and
      termination payments, if any, set forth in Section 4(e) or 4(f) hereof, as
      applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 11 hereof. Neither Section
      4(e)
      nor 4(f) applies to a Termination due to the Employee's Disability or death.
      Nothing contained herein shall limit or impinge any other rights or remedies
      of
      the Company, its Affiliates or the Employee under any other agreement or plan
      to
      which the Employee is a party or of which the Employee is a
      beneficiary.

    

    (d)           Survival.  The
      covenants of the Employee in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 hereof shall survive
      the
      termination of the Employee's employment hereunder and shall not be extinguished
      thereby.

    

    (e)           Certain
      Terminations not in Connection with a Change in Control.  If
      either the Company terminates the Employee's employment without Cause or the
      Employee terminates the Employee's employment for Good Reason, and in either
      event a Change in Control has not occurred within the one year preceding the
      termination of employment and does not occur within ninety (90) days after
      the
      termination of employment, the Company shall be obligated to continue to pay
      the
      Employee the Employee's annual base salary at the time of termination of
      employment for one (1) year after termination of employment. Payments made
      under
      this Section 4(e) shall be paid as a salary continuation on the same schedule
      that applied while the Employee was employed, provided, however, that no payment
      hereunder shall be paid until sixty (60) days after the Employee's termination
      of employment, at which time the Employee shall be paid
      a
      lump sum equal to the payments accumulated to such date, and thereafter payment
      of the unpaid balance shall continue on what would have otherwise been the
      original payment schedule for such unpaid balance. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, if the payment of severance hereunder would fail to meet the
      requirements of Section 409A(a)(l) of the Internal Revenue Code because the
      Employee is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the
      Internal Revenue Code), no payment hereunder shall be made until six months
      after the Employee's termination of employment, at which time the Employee
      shall
      be paid a lump sum equal to what would otherwise have been the first six months'
      of such payments, and thereafter payment of the unpaid balance shall continue
      on
      what would otherwise have been the original payment schedule for such unpaid
      balance.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (f)           Certain
      Terminations in Connection with a Change in Control.  If, within
      ninety (90) days preceding or within one year following a Change in Control,
      either the Company terminates the Employee's employment without Cause or the
      Employee terminates the Employee's employment for Good Reason, the Company
      shall
      be obligated to pay the Employee an amount equal to whichever of the following
      results in the Employee receiving a larger after­ tax amount: (i) one (1)
      times the Employee's annual base salary at the time of termination of employment
      or (ii) if less than one (1) times the Employee's annual base salary at the
      time
      of termination of employment, then the largest amount that could be paid to
      the
      Employee, which will not result in a nondeductible "parachute payment" under
      Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Payments made under this Section
      4(f)
      shall be paid as a salary continuation on the same schedule that applied while
      the Employee was employed, provided, however, that no payment hereunder shall
      be
      paid until sixty (60) days after the Employee's termination of employment,
      at
      which time the Employee shall be paid a lump sum equal to the payments
      accumulated to such date, and thereafter payment of the unpaid balance shall
      continue on what would have otherwise been the original payment schedule for
      such unpaid balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment of severance
      hereunder would fail to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(l) of the
      Internal Revenue Code because the Employee is a "specified employee" (within
      the
      meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), no payment hereunder
      shall be made until six months after the Employee's termination of employment,
      at which time the Employee shall be paid a lump sum equal to what would
      otherwise have been the first six months' of such payments, and thereafter
      payment of the unpaid balance shall continue on what would otherwise have been
      the original payment schedule for such unpaid balance.

    

    (g)           Notwithstanding
      any other provision hereof, the Company's obligation to pay the severance
      benefit set forth in Section 4(e) or 4(f), if applicable, will be contingent
      upon the Employee executing and providing to the Company (and not revoking
      within the revocation period, if any, provided pursuant to the applicable
      release agreement) the form of release agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
      A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, whichever is determined by the
      Company to be appropriate. The Employee shall execute the release within such
      period as is provided for in the applicable release agreement, following the
      Company's provision of such release agreement to the Employee in connection
      with
      the Employee's termination of employment.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    5.           Agreement
      Not to Compete and Not to Solicit Customers.

    

    (a)           Agreement
      Not to Compete. The Employee agrees that commencing on the Commencement Date
      and continuing through the Applicable Period, the Employee will not (except
      on
      behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may
      be
      withheld in Company's sole discretion), within the Area, either directly or
      indirectly, on the Employee's own behalf, or in the service of or on behalf
      of
      others, provide services of a similar type or nature as the Employee performs
      for the Company to any Competing Business. For purposes of this Section 5,
      the
      Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Business of the Company is conducted
      in the Area.

    

    (b)           Agreement
      Not to Solicit Customers. The Employee further agrees that beginning on the
      Commencement Date and throughout the Applicable Period within the Area, the
      Employee will not, directly or indirectly, on the Employee's own behalf, or
      on
      behalf of any third party, entity or business, divert, solicit, or attempt
      to
      divert or solicit to a Competing Business for the purpose of providing products
      or services in competition with the Business of the Company to any individual
      or
      entity (a) who is a Customer at any time during the last twelve (12)-month
      period of the Employee's employment with the Company, or who was within such
      period a Prospective Customer, and (b) in either case, with whom the Employee
      had material contact on the Company's or an Affiliate's behalf. For purposes
      of
      this Agreement, "material contact" exists between the Employee and each Customer
      or actively sought Prospective Customer (i) with whom the Employee dealt on
      behalf of Company or an Affiliate; (ii) whose dealings with Company or an
      Affiliate were coordinated or supervised by the Employee; or (iii) about whom
      the Employee obtained Confidential Information in the course of the Employee's
      providing services to Company or an Affiliate. For purposes of this Agreement,
      "Customer" means any individual or entity from whom the Company or an Affiliate
      has solicited sales or provided targeted marketing or other services, and a
      "Prospective Customer" means any individual or entity the Company or an
      Affiliate has identified as a potential Customer as part of any long-term or
      strategic plan.

    

    6.           Agreement
      Not to Solicit Employees.

    

    The
      Employee agrees that commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing through
      the Applicable Period, the Employee will not, either directly or indirectly,
      on
      the Employee's own behalf or in the service of or on behalf of others, solicit,
      divert or hire, or attempt to solicit, divert or hire, to any Competing Business
      in the Area any person employed by the Company or an Affiliate with whom the
      Employee has had material contact during the Employee's employment, whether
      or
      not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of the Company
      or an Affiliate 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.

    

    

    7.           Ownership
      and Protection of Proprietary Information.

    

    (a)           Confidentiality.
      All Confidential Information and Trade Secrets and all physical embodiments
      thereof received or developed by the Employee while employed by the Company
      are
      confidential to and are and will remain the sole and exclusive property of
      the
      Company. Except to the extent necessary to perform the duties assigned to the
      Employee by the Company, the Employee will hold such Confidential Information
      and Trade Secrets in trust and strictest confidence, and will not use,
      reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate the Confidential
      Information and Trade Secrets or any physical embodiments thereof and may in
      no
      event take any action causing or fail to take the action necessary in order
      to
      prevent, any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets disclosed to or
      developed by the Employee to lose its character or cease to qualify as
      Confidential Information or Trade Secrets.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)           Return
      of Company Property. Upon request by the Company, and in any event upon
      termination of the employment of the Employee with the Company for any reason,
      as a prior condition to receiving any final compensation hereunder (including
      payments pursuant to Section 4(e) or 4(f) hereof), the Employee will promptly
      deliver to the Company all property belonging to the Company, including, without
      limitation, all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (and all embodiments
      thereof) then in the Employee's custody, control or possession.

    

    (c)           Survival.
      The covenants of confidentiality set forth herein will apply on and after
      the date hereof to any Confidential Information and Trade Secrets disclosed
      by
      the Company or developed by the Employee prior to or after the date hereof.
      The
      covenants restricting the use of Confidential Information will continue and
      be
      maintained by the Employee for a period of two (2) years following the
      termination of this Agreement. The covenants restricting the use of Trade
      Secrets will continue and be maintained by the Employee following termination
      of
      this Agreement for so long as permitted by the Georgia Trade Secrets Act of
      1990, a.c.G.A. § 10-1­760, et seq. and as amended
      hereafter.

    

    8.           Inventions.

    

    (a)           Company
      Inventions. The Employee agrees that all Company Inventions conceived or
      first reduced to practice by the Employee during the Term or prior to the Term
      while an employee of or consultant of the Company, and all patent rights and
      copyrights to such Company Inventions shall become and remain the property
      of
      the Company, and the Employee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally sells,
      transfers, conveys, assigns and delivers to Company (a) Employee's entire
      worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Company Inventions, any
      continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, reissues, re-exams, or
      extensions thereof; together with the right to sue for and recover and retain
      damages with respect to past infringements of the Company Inventions by third
      parties, both foreign and domestic, the same to be held and enjoyed by Company
      for the Company's own use and enjoyment, and for the use and enjoyment of its
      successors, assigns or other legal representatives as fully and entirely as
      the
      same would have been held and enjoyed by Employee if this assignment had not
      been made, (b) all applications for industrial property protection, including,
      without limitation, all applications for patents, utility models and designs
      which may heretofore have been filed or may hereafter be filed for said
      inventions in any country, together with the right to file such applications
      and
      the right to claim the same priority rights derived from said patent
      applications under the patent laws of the United States, the International
      Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, or any international
      agreement or the domestic laws of the country in which any such application
      is
      filed, as may be applicable, and (c) all forms of industrial property
      protection, including, without limitation, patents, utility models and designs
      which may heretofore have been granted or may hereafter be granted for said
      inventions in any country and all extensions, renewals and reissues thereof.
      If
      the Employee conceives an Invention during the Term of this Agreement for which
      there is a reasonable basis to believe that the conceived Invention is a Company
      Invention, the Employee shall promptly provide a written description of the
      conceived Invention to the Company adequate to allow evaluation thereof for
      a
      determination by the Company as to whether the Invention is a Company Invention.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 8(a) shall not
      apply to any Invention that the Employee may develop without using the Company's
      equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, except for any
      Inventions that either (i) relate at the time of conception or reduction to
      practice of the Invention to the Business of the Company, or to actual or
      demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company; or (ii) result
      from any work performed by the Employee for the Company.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
 

    (b)           Prior
      Inventions. If prior to the Commencement Date the Employee conceived any
      Invention or acquired any ownership interest in any Invention which (i) is
      the
      property of the Employee, or of which the Employee is a joint owner with another
      person or entity, (ii) is not described in any issued patent as of the
      Commencement Date, and (iii) would be a Company Invention if such Invention
      were
      made during the Term of this Agreement, then (A) with respect to any such
      Invention described in Exhibit D attached hereto, the Employee hereby
      agrees that such written description (but no rights to the Invention) is and
      shall remain the property of the Company and (B) with respect to any such
      Invention not described in Exhibit D attached hereto, the Employee hereby
      grants to the Company a nonexclusive, paid up, royalty-free license to use
      and
      practice such Invention, including a license under all patents to issue in
      any
      country which pertain to such Invention.

    

    (c)           Prior
      Patents. The Employee represents to the Company that the Employee owns or
      has rights to no patents or copyrights, individually or jointly with others,
      except those described in Exhibit D attached hereto.

    

    (d)           Patent
      Applications. The Employee agrees that should the Company elect to file an
      application for patent protection, either in the United States or in any foreign
      country, on a Company Invention of which the Employee was an inventor, the
      Employee for the Employee and the Employee's successors, heirs and assigns,
      but
      at Company's expense, shall execute all applications, amended specifications,
      deeds or other instruments, and to do all acts necessary or proper to secure
      the
      grant of Letters Patent in the United States and in all other countries to
      the
      Company, with specifications and claims in such form as shall be approved by
      the
      counsel of the Company and to vest and confirm in Company its successors and
      assigns, the legal title to all such patents. The Employee further agrees to
      cooperate with any attorneys or other persons designated by the Company by
      explaining the nature of any Company Invention for which the Company elects
      to
      file an application for patent protection, reviewing applications and other
      papers and providing any other cooperation reasonably required for orderly
      prosecution of such patent applications; provided, however, that if the Employee
      is required to provide such assistance after the Employee has left employment
      with the Company, the Company shall pay the Employee an hourly rate for the
      Employee's assistance, which shall be determined by converting the Employee's
      annual salary as in effect upon termination of the Employee's employment with
      the Company into an hourly rate of pay. The Company shall be responsible for
      all
      expenses incurred for the preparation and prosecution of all patent applications
      on Company Inventions filed by the Company. Employee agrees, and Employee
      further authorizes and grants a limited power of attorney to the Company or
      its
      designee, to execute on Employee's behalf any documents necessary to evidence
      the assignments granted herein for the United States or any other country
      without further notice to Employee.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    9.           Copyrights.

    

    (a)           Ownership
      and Assignment. The Employee acknowledges and agrees that any Works created
      by the Employee in the course of the Employee's employment during the Term
      or
      prior to the Term while an employee of or consultant to the Company, are subject
      to the "Work for Hire" provisions contained in Sections 101 and 201 of the
      United States Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code, and that all
      right, title and interest to copyrights in all Works which have been or will
      be
      prepared by the Employee within the scope of the Employee's employment hereunder
      shall be the property of the Company. The Employee further acknowledges and
      agrees that, to the extent the provisions of Title 17 of the United States
      Code
      do not vest in the Company the copyrights to any Works, the Employee hereby
      assigns to the Company all right, title and interest to copyrights which the
      Employee may have in such Works, including the right to sue for and recover
      and
      retain damages with respect to past infringement.

    

    (b)           Registration.
      The Employee agrees to disclose to the Company all Works referred to in the
      immediately preceding paragraph and execute and deliver all applications for
      registration, registrations, and other documents relating to the copyrights
      to
      the Works and provide such additional assistance, as the Company may deem
      necessary and desirable to secure the Company's title to the copyrights in
      the
      Works. The Company shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in connection
      with the registration of all such copyrights.

    

    (c)           Prior
      Works. The Employee claims no ownership rights in any Works, except as
      described in Exhibit D attached hereto.

    

    10.   Contracts
      or Other Agreements with Former Employer or Business.

    

    The
      Employee hereby represents and warrants that the Employee is not subject to
      any
      employment agreement or similar document, except as previously disclosed and
      delivered to the Company, with a former employer or any business with which
      the
      Employee has been associated, which on its face prohibits the Employee during
      a
      period of time which extends through the Commencement Date from any of the
      following: (i) competing with, or in any way participating in a business which
      competes with the Employee's former employer or business; (ii) soliciting
      personnel of such former employer or business to leave such former employer's
      employment or to leave such business; or (iii) soliciting customers of such
      former employer or business on behalf of another business. The Employee hereby
      further represents and warrants that the Employee has not executed any agreement
      with any other party which, on its face, purports to require the Employee to
      assign any Work or any Invention created, conceived or first reduced to practice
      by the Employee during a period of time which extends through the Commencement
      Date except as previously disclosed in writing to the Company.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    11.           Remedies.

    

    (a)           The
      Employee agrees that the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5,
      6, 7,
      8 and 9 hereof are of the essence of this Agreement; that each of such covenants
      is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the interests and properties
      of the Company and the Business of the Company; that the Company is engaged
      in
      and throughout the Area in the Business of the Company; that the Employee has
      access to and knowledge of the Company's business and financial plans; that
      irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by the Company should the Employee
      breach any of such covenants and agreements; that each of such covenants and
      agreements is separate, distinct and severable not only from the other of such
      covenants and agreements but also from the other and remaining provisions of
      this Agreement; that the unenforceability of any such covenant or agreement
      shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other such covenant
      or
      agreements or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement; and that,
      in
      addition to other remedies available to it, the Company shall be entitled to
      specific performance of this Agreement and to both temporary and permanent
      injunctions to prevent a breach or contemplated breach by the Employee of any
      of
      such covenants or agreements.

    

    (b)           In
      addition to any other rights the Company may have pursuant to this Agreement,
      if
      the
      Employee engages in or provides managerial, supervisory, sales, marketing,
      financial, management information, administrative or consulting services or
      assistance (collectively "Prohibited Services") to, or owns (other than
      ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting securities
      of
      an entity whose voting securities are traded on a national securities exchange
      or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
      Quotation System) a beneficial or legal interest in, any Competing Business
      within the Area during the Applicable Period, the Employee will forfeit any
      amounts owed to the Employee under Section 4(e) or 4(f), as applicable, which

      against the Company, or any Affiliate, whether predicated upon this Agreement
      or
      otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company
      of
      any of its rights hereunder. The existence of any claim, demand, action or
      cause
      of action by the Company or any Affiliate against the Employee, whether
      predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense
      to

      hereunder.

      assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent
      of
      the other party.

    

    (b)           Waiver.
      The waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement by the Employee shall
      not be effective unless in writing, and no such waiver shall constitute the
      waiver of the same or another breach on a subsequent occasion.

    

    (c)           Arbitration.
      Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the
      breach thereof, shall be adjudicated through binding arbitration before a single
      arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
      Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Atlanta, Georgia, with the Company bearing
      responsibility for the filing costs charged by the AAA for such arbitration.
      However the provisions of this Section will not prevent the Company from
      instituting an action in a court of law under this Agreement for specific
      performance of this Agreement or temporary or permanent injunctive relief as
      provided in Section 11 hereof. The parties hereto agree that the exclusive
      venue
      for any such lawsuit will be Gwinnett County, Georgia and the Employee consents
      to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by the Superior Court of Gwinnett
      County for the purposes of such lawsuit.

    

    Any
      party
      who desires to submit a claim to arbitration in accordance with this Section
      shall file its demand for arbitration with AAA within thirty (30) days of the
      event or incident giving rise to the claim. A copy of said demand shall be
      served on the other party in accordance with the notice provisions in Section
      13
      of this Agreement. The parties agree that they shall attempt in good faith
      to
      select an arbitrator by mutual agreement within twenty (20) days after the
      responding party's receipt of the demand for arbitration. If the parties do
      not
      agree on the selection of an arbitrator within that timeframe, the selection
      shall be made pursuant to the rules from the panels of arbitrators maintained
      by
      the AAA. If the Employee prevails in the dispute, the Company will pay and
      be
      financially responsible for all costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees
      and
      reasonable expenses of the arbitrator incurred by the Employee (or the
      Employee's estate in the event of the Employee's death) in connection with
      the
      dispute. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written
      opinion providing the reasons for the award.

      Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of the parties
      hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral agreements,

    EXHIBIT
      A

    

    RELEASE
      AGREEMENT

    

    This
      Release Agreement (this
      "Agreement") is made this __ day
      of      by
      Galt
      Medical Corp. (the "Employer") and_______________________(the
      "Employee").

    

    Introduction

    

    Employee
      and the Employer entered into an Employment Agreement dated ______ (the
      "Severance Agreement") which provides certain severance benefits.

    

    The
      Severance Agreement requires that as a condition to the payment of severance
      benefits under the Severance Agreement (the "Severance Benefits"), the Employee
      must provide a release and agree to certain other conditions.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

    

    
      	
              1.

            	
              The
                effective date of this Agreement shall be the date on which Employee
                signs
                this Agreement ("the Effective Date"), at which time this Agreement
                shall
                be fully effective and enforceable. Employee has been offered twenty-one
                (21) days from receipt of this Agreement within which to consider
                this
                Agreement. Employee understands that the Employee may sign this Agreement
                at any time before the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day review.
                To
                the degree Employee chooses not to wait twenty-one (21) days to execute
                this Agreement, it is because Employee freely and unilaterally chooses
                to
                execute this Agreement before that time.

            
	 	 
	
              2.

            	
              In
                exchange for Employee's execution of this Agreement and in full and
                complete settlement of any and all claims, the Employer will provide
                Employee with the Severance Benefits.

            
	 	 
	
              3.

            	
              The
                release given by Employee in this Agreement is given solely in exchange
                for the consideration set forth in this Agreement and such consideration
                is in addition to anything of value that Employee was entitled to
                receive
                prior to entering into this Agreement.

            
	 	 
	 	
              Employee
                has been advised to consult an attorney prior to entering into this
                Agreement.

            
	 	 
	 	
              By
                entering into this Agreement, Employee does not waive rights or claims
                that may arise after the date this Agreement is
                executed.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
              4.

            	
              This
                Agreement shall in no way be construed as an admission by the Employer
                that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Employee or any other
                person
                or that Employee has any rights whatsoever against the Employer.
                The
                Employer specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts
                against
                Employee or any other person on the part of itself, its employees
                or its
                agents.

            
	 	 
	
              5.

            	
              As
                a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this Agreement,
                Employee hereby irrevocably releases the Employer and each of the
                owners,
                stockholders, predecessors, successors, directors, officers, employees,
                representatives, attorneys, and affiliates (and agents, directors,
                officers, employees, representatives and attorneys of such affiliates)
                of
                the Employer, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert
                with
                them (collectively "Releasees"), from any and all charges, claims,
                liabilities, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, costs,
                losses,
                debts and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs actually
                incurred)
                of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, including, but not limited
                to,
                rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express
                or
                implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or
                implied,
                or any tort, or any legal restrictions on the Employer's right to
                terminate employees, or any federal, state or other governmental
                statute,

                ("Claim" or "Claims"), which Employee now has, or claims to have,
                or which
                Employee at any time heretofore had, or claimed to have, or which
                Employee

                of the
                Releasees occurring up to and including the Effective Date. Employee
                covenants and agrees not to institute, or participate in any way
                in anyone
                else's actions involved in instituting any action against any of
                the
                Releasees with respect to any Claim released herein.

            
	 	 
	 	
              Notwithstanding
                the foregoing, this Agreement shall not release any claims the Employee
                has (i) to any unpaid benefits under any employee benefit plan (within

                stock options, if any, pursuant to any stock option agreements provided
                by

              The
                Employer and Employee agree that the terms of this Agreement shall
                be
                final and binding and that this Agreement shall be interpreted, enforced

                of
                this Agreement can be severed, and if any part of this Agreement
                is found
                to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue
                to be
                valid and effective.

              This
                Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Employer and
                Employee and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or

    RELEASE
      AGREEMENT

    

    This
      Release Agreement (this
      "Agreement") is made this _____ day of______________ by
      Galt
      Medical Corp. (the "Employer") and ______________________________________ (the
      "Employee").

    

    Introduction

    

    Employee
      and the Employer entered into
      an Employment Agreement dated __________________
      (the "Severance Agreement") which provides certain severance
      benefits.

    

    The
      Severance Agreement requires that as a condition to the payment of severance
      benefits under the Severance Agreement (the "Severance Benefits"), the Employee
      must provide a release and agree to certain other conditions.

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

    

    
      	
              1.

            	
              Employee
                has been offered twenty-one (21) days from receipt of this Agreement
                within which to consider this Agreement. The effective date of this
                Agreement shall be the date eight (8) days after the date on which
                Employee signs this Agreement ("the Effective Date"). For a period
                of
                seven (7) days following Employee's execution of this Agreement,
                Employee
                may revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not become effective
                or enforceable until such seven. (7) day period has expired. Employee
                must
                communicate the desire to revoke this Agreement in writing. Employee
                understands that the Employee may sign the Agreement at any time
                before
                the expiration of the twenty-one (21) day review period. To the degree
                Employee chooses not to wait twenty-one (21) days to execute this
                Agreement, it is because Employee freely and unilaterally chooses
                to
                execute this Agreement before that time. Employee's signing of the
                Agreement triggers the commencement of the seven (7) day revocation
                period.

            
	 	 
	
              2.

            	
              In exchange
                for Employee's execution of this Agreement and in full and complete
                settlement of any and all claims, the Employer will provide Employee
                with
                the Severance Benefits.

            
	 	 
	
              3.

            	
              Employee
                acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is in compliance with
                the Age
                Discrimination in Employment Act and the Older Workers Benefit Protection
                Act and that the releases set forth in this Agreement shall be applicable,
                without limitation, to any claims brought under these
                Acts.

            
	 	 
	 	
              The
                release given by Employee in this Agreement is given solely in exchange
                for the consideration set forth in this Agreement and such consideration
                is in addition to anything of value that Employee was entitled to
                receive
                prior to entering into this
                Agreement.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	 	
              Employee
                has been advised to consult an attorney prior to entering into this
                Agreement, and this provision of the Agreement satisfies the requirement
                of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act that Employee be so advised
                in
                writing.

            
	 	 
	 	
              By
                entering into this Agreement, Employee does not waive rights or claims
                that may arise after the date this Agreement is
                executed.

            
	 	 
	
              4.

            	
              This
                Agreement shall in no way be construed as an admission by the Employer
                that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Employee or any other
                person
                or that Employee has any rights whatsoever against the Employer.
                The
                Employer specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts
                against
                Employee or any other person on the part of itself, its employees
                or its
                agents.

            
	 	 
	
              5.

            	
              As
                a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this Agreement,
                Employee hereby irrevocably releases the Employer and each of the
                owners,
                stockholders, predecessors, successors, directors, officers, employees,
                representatives, attorneys, and affiliates (and agents, directors,
                officers, employees, representatives and attorneys of such affiliates)
                of
                the Employer, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert
                with
                them (collectively "Releasees"), from any and all charges, claims,
                liabilities, agreements, damages, causes of action, suits, costs,
                losses,
                debts and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs actually
                incurred)
                of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, including, but not limited
                to,
                rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express
                or
                implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or
                implied,
                or any tort, or any legal restrictions on the Employer's right to
                terminate employees, or any federal, state or other governmental
                statute,

                of
                seven (7) days following Employee's execution of this Agreement,
                Employee
                may revoke this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not become effective
                or enforceable until such seven (7) day period has expired. Employee
                must
                communicate the desire to revoke this Agreement in writing. Employee
                understands that the Employee may sign the Agreement at any time
                before
                the expiration of the forty-five (45) day review period. To the degree
                Employee chooses not to wait forty-five (45) days to execute this
                Agreement, it is because Employee freely and unilaterally chooses
                to
                execute this Agreement before that time. Employee's signing of the
                Agreement triggers the commencement of the seven (7) day revocation
                period.

            
	 	 
	
              2.

            	
              In
                exchange for Employee's execution of this Agreement and in full and
                complete settlement of any and all claims, the Employer will provide
                Employee with the Severance Benefits.

            
	 	 
	
              3.

            	
              Employee
                acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is in compliance with
                the Age
                Discrimination in Employment Act and the Older Workers Benefit Protection
                Act and that the releases set forth in this Agreement shall be applicable,
                without limitation, to any claims brought under these
                Acts.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	 	
              The
                release given by Employee in this Agreement is given solely in exchange
                for the consideration set forth in this Agreement and such consideration
                is in addition to anything of value that Employee was entitled to
                receive
                prior to entering into this Agreement.

            
	 	 
	 	
              Employee
                has been advised to consult an attorney prior to entering into this
                Agreement, and this provision of the Agreement satisfies the requirement
                of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act that Employee be so advised
                in
                writing.

            
	 	 
	 	
              By
                entering into this Agreement, Employee does not waive rights or claims
                that may arise after the date this Agreement is
                executed.

            
	 	 
	
              4.

            	
              The
                Employer has
                _______________________________________________________________________________________________

                to describe class, unit, or group of individuals covered by termination
                program, any eligibility factors, and time limits applicable] and
                such employees comprise the "Decisional Unit." Attached as "Attachment

                to this Agreement is a list of ages and job titles of persons in
                the

                and the
                offer of consideration for signing the Agreement.

            
	 	 
	
              5.

            	
              This
                Agreement shall in no way be construed as an admission by the Employer
                that it has acted wrongfully with respect to Employee or any other
                person
                or that Employee has any rights whatsoever against the Employer.
                The
                Employer specifically disclaims any liability to or wrongful acts
                against
                Employee or any other person on the part of itself, its employees
                or its
                agents.

              As
                a material inducement to the Employer to enter into this Agreement,
                Employee hereby irrevocably releases the Employer and each of the
                owners,

              Notwithstanding

              8.

            	
              This
                Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the Employer and

“Compensation Committee”). The bonus payment shall be earned upon the fulfillments of Targets and is payable within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days from the date that the Compensation Committee
concludes that Targets have been fulfilled. The Compensation Committee will determine in its sole discretion whether the Targets have been achieved, whether you have earned a bonus, and the amount of any earned bonus. You must be employed on the
bonus payment date to earn and be eligible to receive any bonus. 

  

	 	c.	Review of Compensation. Your base salary and bonus eligibility will be reviewed on an annual or more frequent basis by the Compensation Committee and are subject to change in

Compensation Committee. In addition, subject to Compensation Committee approval, the Company will grant you the right to receive 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Plan (the “Restricted Stock Unit

	 	b.	Vesting Schedule. Both the Option and the Restricted Stock Unit Award will be subject to a four-year vesting period subject to your continuous service to the Company as an

service as an employee or consultant following the Start Date.

addition, you will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses (supported by reasonably detailed documentation) incurred in connection with the relocation of you and/or your family to the San Francisco Bay Area in an amount not to exceed

below) or by the Company without Cause (as defined below). The Company may modify its benefits programs and policies from time to time in its discretion. 

  

	5.	INVENTION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. As a condition of your employment, you are required to sign and abide by the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions
Agreement (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

  

	6.	SERVICE AS EMPLOYEE; OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES. 

  

	 	a.	Location and Duties. You will work at the Company’s corporate headquarters currently located in Fremont, California, subject to necessary business travel. During your

employment policies) to the business of the Company. 

  

	 	b.	Company Policies. Your employment relationship with the Company shall also be governed by the general employment policies and practices of the Company, including but not
limited to the policies contained in the Company’s Employee Handbook (except that if the terms of this letter differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or practices, this letter will control), and you
will be required to abide by such general employment policies and practices of the Company. 

  

	 	c.	Other Activities. Throughout your employment with the Company, you may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such activities do not interfere with the
performance of your duties hereunder or present a conflict of interest with the Company. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and with the prior written consent of the Board, you may serve as a director of other corporations and may devote a
reasonable amount of your time to other types of business or public activities not expressly mentioned in this paragraph. 

  

	 	d.	Conflict of Interest. During your employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, you will not directly or indirectly serve as an officer, director, stockholder,

or preparing to compete with the Company), anywhere in the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that you may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent
(1%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange. 

  

	7.	AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. Your employment relationship with the Company is at-will. Accordingly, both you and the Company may terminate the employment relationship at

respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) any other material breach of this agreement or any other agreement referred to herein (including the Non-Disclosure Agreement); provided, however, that, it shall only be deemed Cause
pursuant to clause (vi) if you are given written notice describing the basis of Cause and, if the event is reasonably susceptible of cure, you fail to cure within thirty (30) days. 

  

	 	b.	Definition of “Good Reason.” For purposes of this offer letter agreement, “Good Reason” is defined as one or more of the following conditions that occur
without your written consent: (i) the assignment to you, or the removal from you, of any duties or responsibilities that results in the material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities as GC, including a Change in Control that

(iv) your office relocation to a location more than fifty miles from your then present location; provided however that, it shall only be deemed Good Reason pursuant to the foregoing definition if (x) the Company is given written notice
from you within ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of a condition that you consider to constitute Good Reason describing the condition and fails to remedy such condition within thirty (30) days following such written notice,
and (y) you resign from employment within ninety (90) days following the end of the period within which the Company was entitled to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason but failed to do so. 

  

	 	c.	Definition of “Change in Control.” For purposes of this offer letter agreement, “Change in Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a
series of related transactions, of either of the following events: 

  

	 	i.	There is consummated (A) a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company or (B) a tender offer or exchange offer
addressed to the stockholders of the Company and, in either event, immediately after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or such tender or exchange offer, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do
not own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or
(B) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; or 

  

	 	ii.	There is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, other
than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to an entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
which are owned by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition.

 The term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the
purpose of changing the domicile of the Company. 
  

	9.	CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, within 12 months following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you for Good
Reason; and if you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective a release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”); then in lieu of any Severance Benefits set
forth in Section 10 herein, you shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits (the “Change in Control Severance Benefits”): 

  

	 	a.	The vesting of all unvested stock options and all unvested grants of restricted stock herein referred to and any subsequent grants of stock options, restricted stock or any
other stock awards in future plans, shall accelerate in such amount equal to the number of shares that would vest over an additional twelve (12) month period as if you have continued to be an employee of the Company for additional 12 months
following your termination; 

  

	 	b.	You will be eligible to receive severance pay in the total amount equal to the sum of twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect as of the employment termination
date. For purposes of this Section 9(b), “base salary” as used herein does not include any annual performance bonus or any other bonus payment. The severance pay will be subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings,
and will be paid in twenty-four (24) equal installments over a period of twelve (12) months, with such payments made on the Company’s normal payroll schedule; and 

  

	 	c.	If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for continued group health insurance coverage under federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws
(collectively, “COBRA”), the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including dependent coverage, if
applicable) for twelve (12) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new
employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Company if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within twelve (12) months of your employment termination date. 

  

	10.	SEVERANCE BENEFITS. If, at any time other than during the 12 month period following a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you
for Good Reason; and if you sign, date, return to the Company and allow to become effective a release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion (the “Release”); then you shall be entitled to receive the
following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”): 

  

	 	a.	Severance pay in the total amount equal to the sum of six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of the employment termination date. The severance pay will be
subject to required payroll deductions and withholdings, and will be paid in twelve (12) equal installments over a period of six (6) months, with such payments made on the Company’s normal payroll schedule. For purposes of this
Section 10(a), “base salary” as used herein does not include any annual performance bonus or any other bonus payment; and 

  

	 	b.	If you timely elect and continue to remain eligible for COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums sufficient to continue your group health insurance coverage at the
same level in effect as of your employment termination date (including dependent coverage, if applicable) for six (6) months after the employment termination date; provided that, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA premiums will
cease earlier if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer and you must provide prompt written notice to the Board if you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer within six
(6) months of your employment termination date. 

  

	11.	CONDITIONS TO ELIGIBILITY TO SEVERANCE BENEFITS OR CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE BENEFITS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will not be eligible for the Severance Benefits or
the Change in Control Severance Benefits if: (A) your employment is terminated for Cause, or if you resign for any reason that does not qualify as Good Reason; or (B) in the event that you materially breach the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Release
of claims, or any other obligations you owe to the Company after termination of your employment (including but not limited to the nonsolicitation provisions hereunder), and the Company’s obligation to provide the Severance Benefits or the
Change in Control Benefits (or to continue to provide such benefits) will cease immediately and in full as of the date of your breach. 

  

	12.	DEFERRED COMPENSATION. Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company reasonably determines that any payments hereunder fail to
satisfy the distribution requirements of Section 409A(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and you concur with such determination in writing, then the payment of such benefit shall be delayed to the
minimum extent necessary so that such payments are not subject to the provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code; provided, however, that in no event shall such delay be more than six (6) months and one (1) day from the date of termination of your
employment with the Company. 

	13.	EXCISE TAX. 

  

	 	a.	Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit that you would receive pursuant to this offer letter agreement or otherwise
(“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
(the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (y) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment
(after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax, or (z) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest
applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment to you.

  

	 	b.	If a reduction in the Payment is to be made, the reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order unless you elect in writing a different order
(provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if made on or after the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs (the “Payment
Event”)): (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits
paid to you. In the event that acceleration of compensation from your equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the reverse order of the date of grant unless you elect in writing a different order for
cancellation. 

  

	 	c.	The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general audit purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Payment Event shall perform the foregoing calculations.
If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Payment Event, a nationally recognized accounting firm appointed by the Board and reasonably approved by you shall
make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. 

  

	 	d.	The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and you
within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Company or you) or such other time or times as requested by the Company or you. If the accounting firm determines
that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and you with an opinion reasonably acceptable to you that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect
to such Payment. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon the accounting firm’s determinations, which shall be final and binding. 

  

	14.	DISPUTE RESOLUTION. To ensure the rapid and economical resolution of disputes that may arise in connection with your employment, you and the Company agree that any and all
disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to the enforcement, breach, performance, execution, or interpretation of this agreement, your employment, or the termination of your employment, shall be resolved, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in San Francisco, California conducted before a single arbitrator by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) or its successor, under the
then applicable JAMS rules. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both you and the Company waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the
authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions
and a statement of the award. The Company shall pay all of JAMS’ arbitration fees. Nothing in this letter agreement shall prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court if necessary to prevent irreparable harm
pending the conclusion of any arbitration. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall award reasonable attorneys fees and costs to the prevailing party in any action brought hereunder, and the arbitrator shall have discretion to determine the
prevailing party in an arbitration where multiple claims may be at issue. 

  

	15.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	 	a.	General Provisions. This letter, including the attached Non-Disclosure Agreement, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between you
and the Company with regard to the subject matter hereof. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation, written or oral, other than those expressly contained herein, and it supersedes any other agreements, promises,
warranties or representations concerning its subject matter. Changes in your employment terms, other than those expressly reserved herein to the Company’s discretion, only can be made in a writing signed by a duly-authorized member of the
Company and you. This letter agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of
this letter agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination shall not affect any other provision of this letter agreement and the provision in question shall be modified so as to be rendered
enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible under applicable law. This letter agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of
law principles. Any ambiguity in this letter agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of a breach of this letter agreement, or rights hereunder, shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any successive breach or rights hereunder. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts which shall be deemed to be part of one original, and facsimile signatures shall be equivalent to original signatures. 

  

	 	b.	Legal Right to Work. As required by law, this offer is subject to satisfactory proof of your right to work in the United States. 

  

	16.	ACCEPTANCE. Please sign this letter and the attached Non-Disclosure Agreement and return them to me as soon as possible to accept employment with the Company on the terms set

 Exhibit A – Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement 

 EXHIBIT A 
 INVENTION AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 
 RACKABLE SYSTEMS, INC. 
 EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 
 In consideration of my employment by Rackable Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I hereby agree to the following with respect to my use and development of information and technology of
the Company, as more fully set out below. 
  

	 	1.	Proprietary Information.  

 (a)     Confidential Restrictions. I agree to hold in strict confidence and in trust for the sole benefit of the Company all Proprietary Information (as defined below) that I may have access to during the course
of my employment with the Company and will not disclose any Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, to anyone outside of the Company, or use, copy, publish, summarize, or remove from Company premises such information (or remove from the
premises any other property of the Company) except (i) during my employment to the extent necessary to carry out my responsibilities as an employee of the Company or (ii) after termination of my employment, as specifically authorized by
the President of the Company. I further understand that the publication of any Proprietary Information through literature or speeches must be approved in advance in writing by the President of the Company. “Proprietary Information” shall
mean all information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, whether disclosed to or learned or developed by me, pertaining in any manner to the business of the Company (or any affiliate of it that might be formed) or to the
Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors and other commercial partners unless: (i) the information is or becomes publicly known through lawful means; (ii) the information was rightfully in my possession or part of my general
knowledge prior to my employment by the Company; or (iii) the information is disclosed to me without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information (without confidential or proprietary
restriction) and did not learn of it, directly or indirectly, from the Company. 
 (b)     Third Party
Information. I recognize that the Company has received and in the future will 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. I agree that I owe the Company and such third parties, during the term of my employment and thereafter, a duty to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest
confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm, or corporation (except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) or to use it for the benefit of anyone other than
for the Company or such third party (consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party) without the express written authorization of the President of the Company. 
 (c)     Interference with Business. I hereby acknowledge that pursuit of the activities forbidden by this Section 1(c)
would necessarily involve the use or disclosure of Proprietary Information in breach of Section 1, but that proof of such breach would be extremely difficult. To forestall such disclosure, use, and breach, I agree that for the term of this
Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after termination of my employment with the Company, I shall not, for myself or any third party, directly or indirectly (i) divert or attempt to divert from the Company (or any affiliate of it
that might be formed) any business of any kind in which it is engaged, including, without limitation, the solicitation of or interference with any of its suppliers or customers; (ii) employ, solicit for employment, or recommend for employment
any person employed by the Company (or by any affiliate of it that might be formed) during the period of such person’s employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter; or (iii) engage in any business activity that is or may be
competitive with the Company (or any affiliate of it that might be formed). I understand that none of my activities will be prohibited under this Section 1(c) if I can prove that the action was taken without the use in any way of Proprietary
Information. 
  

 1 

	 	2.	Inventions.  

 (a)    
Defined; Statutory Notice. I understand that during the term of my employment, there are certain restrictions on my development of technology, ideas, and inventions, referred to in this Agreement as “Invention Ideas.” The term
Invention Ideas means any and all ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, inventions, technology, computer programs, original works of authorship, designs, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, and all improvements, rights, and claims
related to the foregoing that are conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me alone or with others except to the extent that California Labor Code Section 2870 lawfully prohibits the assignment of rights in such ideas, processes,
inventions, etc. I understand that Section 2870(a) provides: 
 Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee
shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies,
facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: 
 (1)     Relate at the
time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer. 
 (2)     Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 
 (b)     Records of Invention Ideas. I agree to maintain adequate and current written records on the development of all
Invention Ideas and to disclose promptly to the Company all Invention Ideas and relevant records, which records will remain the sole property of the Company. I further agree that all information and records pertaining to any idea, process,
trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer program, original work of authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent, or copyright that I do not believe to be an Invention Idea, but is conceived, developed, or reduced to practice by me
(alone or with others) during my period of employment or during the one-year period following termination of my employment, shall be promptly disclosed to the Company (such disclosure to be received in confidence). The Company shall examine such
information to determine if in fact the idea, process, or invention, etc., is an Invention Idea subject to this Agreement. 
 (c)     Assignment. I agree to assign to the Company, without further consideration, my entire right, title, and interest (throughout the United States and in all foreign countries), free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances, in and to each Invention Idea, which shall be the sole property of the Company, whether or not patentable. In the event any Invention Idea shall be deemed by the Company to be patentable or otherwise registrable, I will assist the
Company (at its expense) in obtaining letters patent or other applicable registrations thereon and I will execute all documents and do all other things (including testifying at the Company’s expense) necessary or proper to obtain letters patent
or other applicable registrations thereon and to vest the Company with full title thereto. Should the Company be unable to secure my signature on any document necessary to apply for, prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other
right or protection relating to any Invention Idea, whether due to my mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and
attorney-in-fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead, to execute and file any such document, and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution, issuance, and enforcement of patents, copyrights, or other rights or protections
with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by me. 
 (d)     Exclusions. Except as disclosed in
Exhibit A, there are no ideas, processes, trademarks, service marks, inventions, technology, computer programs, original works of authorship, designs, formulas, discoveries, patents, copyrights, or improvements to the foregoing that I wish to
exclude from the operation of this Agreement. 
  

 2 

 (e)     Post-Termination Period. I acknowledge that because of the difficulty
of establishing when any idea, process, invention, etc., is first conceived or developed by me, or whether it results from access to Proprietary Information or the Company’s equipment, facilities and data, I agree that any idea, process,
trademark, service mark, invention, technology, computer program, original work of authorship, design, formula, discovery, patent, copyright, or any improvement, rights, or claims related to the foregoing shall be presumed to be an Invention Idea if
it is conceived, developed, used, sold, exploited, or reduced to practice by me or with my aid within one (1) year after my termination of employment with the Company. I can rebut the above presumption if I prove that the invention, idea,
process, etc., is not an Invention Idea as defined in paragraph 2(a). 
 I understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended to expand the scope of
protection provided me by Sections 2870 through 2872 of the California Labor Code. 
 3.     Former or Conflicting
Obligations. During my employment with the Company, I will not disclose to the Company, or use, or induce the Company to use, any proprietary information or trade secrets of others. I represent that my performance of this Agreement will not
breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I certify that I have no outstanding agreement or obligation that is in conflict with any of the
provisions of this Agreement, or that would preclude me from complying with the provisions hereof. I further certify that during the term of my employment with the Company, I will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other
business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved during the term of such employment. 
 4.     Government Contracts. I understand that the Company has or may enter into contracts with the government under which certain intellectual property rights will be required to be protected, assigned,
licensed, or otherwise transferred and I hereby agree to execute such other documents and agreements as are necessary to enable the Company to meet its obligations under any such government contracts. 
 5.     Termination. I hereby acknowledge and agree that all personal property, including, without limitation, all
books, manuals, records, models, drawings, reports, notes, contracts, lists, blueprints, and other documents or materials or copies thereof, Proprietary Information, and equipment furnished to or prepared by me in the course of or incident to my
employment, belong to the Company and will be promptly returned to the Company upon termination of my employment with the Company. Following my termination, I will not retain any written or other tangible material containing any Proprietary
Information or information pertaining to any Invention Idea. I understand that my obligations contained herein will survive the termination of my employment. In the event of termination of my employment, I agree to sign and deliver to the Company a
Termination Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
  

 3 

	 	6.	Miscellaneous Provisions. 

 (a)     Assignment. I agree that the Company may assign to another person or entity any of its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any successor in interest to the Company or its business
