5. COMPETITION AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

(a) INTERESTS TO BE PROTECTED. The parties acknowledge that
Employee will perform essential services for Employer, its employees, and its
stockholders during the term of Employee’s employment with Employer. Employee
will be exposed to, have access to, and work with, a considerable amount of
Confidential Information (as defined below). The parties also expressly
recognize and acknowledge that the personnel of Employer have been trained by,
and are valuable to, Employer and that Employer will incur substantial
recruiting and training expenses if Employer must hire new personnel or retrain
existing personnel to fill vacancies. The parties expressly recognize that it
could seriously impair the goodwill and diminish the value of Employer’s
business should Employee compete with Employer in any manner whatsoever. The
parties acknowledge that this covenant has an extended duration; however, they
agree that this covenant is reasonable and it is necessary for the protection
of Employer, its stockholders, and employees. For these and other reasons, and
the fact that there are many other employment opportunities available to
Employee if he should terminate his employment, the parties are in full and
complete agreement that the following restrictive covenants are fair and
reasonable and are entered into freely, voluntarily, and knowingly.
Furthermore, each party was given the opportunity to consult with independent
legal counsel before entering into this Agreement.

Employer and for the period ending 18 months after the termination of Employee’s
employment with Employer, regardless of the reason therefor, Employee shall not
(whether directly or indirectly, as owner, principal, agent, stockholder,
director, officer, manager, employee, partner, participant, or in any other
capacity) engage or become financially interested in any competitive business
conducted within the Restricted Territory (as defined below). As used herein,
the term “competitive business” shall mean any business that sells or provides
or attempts to sell or provide products or services the same as or
substantially similar to the products or services sold or provided by Employer
during Employee’s employment hereunder, and the term “Restricted Territory”
shall mean any state in which Employer sells products or provides services
during Employee’s employment hereunder.

 

(c) NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. During the term of Employee’s
employment and for a period of 18 months after the termination of Employee’s
employment with Employee, regardless of the reason therefor, Employee shall not
directly or indirectly, for himself, or on behalf of, or in conjunction with,
any other person, company, partnership, corporation, or governmental entity,
seek to hire or hire any of Employer’s personnel or employees for the purpose
of having any such employee engage in services that are the same as or similar
or related to the services that such employee provided for Employer.

 

(d) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Employee shall maintain in strict
secrecy all confidential or trade secret information relating to the business
of Employer (the “Confidential Information”) obtained by Employee in the course
of Employee’s employment, and Employee shall not, unless first authorized in
writing by Employer, disclose to, or use for Employee’s benefit or for the
benefit of, any person, firm, or entity at any time either during or subsequent
to the term of Employee’s employment, any Confidential Information, except as
required in the performance of Employee’s duties on behalf of Employer. For
purposes hereof, Confidential Information shall include without limitation any
materials, trade secrets, knowledge, or information with respect to management,
operational, or investment policies and practices of Employer; any business
methods or forms; any names or addresses of customers or data on customers or
suppliers; and any business policies or other information relating to or
dealing with the management, operational, or investment policies or practices
of Employer.

specifications; all cost, pricing, and other financial data; all other written
or printed materials that are the property of Employer (and any copies of
them); and all other materials that may contain Confidential Information
relating to the business of Employer, which Employee may then have in Employee’s
possession, whether prepared by Employee or not.

 

(f) DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Employee shall disclose promptly to
Employer, or its nominee, any and all ideas, designs, processes, and improvements
of any kind relating to the business of Employer, whether patentable or not,
conceived or made by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during
working hours or otherwise, during the entire period of Employee’s employment
with Employer or within six months thereafter.

 

5

 

(g) ASSIGNMENT. Employee hereby assigns to Employer or its
nominee, the entire right, title, and interest in and to all inventions,
discoveries, and improvements, whether patentable or not, that Employee may
conceive or make during Employee’s employment with Employer, or within six
months thereafter, and which relate to the business of Employer.

 

(h) EQUITABLE RELIEF. In the event a violation of any of the
restrictions contained in this Section is established, Employer shall be
entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and
an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits, and other benefits arising
from such violation, which right shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other rights or remedies to which Employer may be entitled. In the event of a
violation of any provision of subsection (b), (c), (f), or (g) of
this Section, the period for which those provisions would remain in effect
shall be extended for a period of time equal to that period beginning when such
violation commenced and ending when the activities constituting such violation
shall have been finally terminated in good faith.

 

(i) RESTRICTIONS SEPARABLE. If the scope of any provision of this
Agreement (whether in this Section 5 or otherwise) is found by a Court to
be too broad to permit enforcement to its full extent, then such provision

that the scope of any provision of this Agreement may be modified by a judge in
any proceeding to enforce this Agreement, so that such provision can be
enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each and every restriction set
forth in this Section 5 is independent and severable from the others, and

for any reason, any other or others of them may be unenforceable in whole or in
part.

(b) INDULGENCES; WAIVERS. Neither any failure nor any delay on the
part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other
or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power, or
privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with
respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy,
power, or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be

its validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement, shall be governed by
