          8. Company Inventions.

     (a) During the Employment Period and thereafter, Employee will disclose promptly to the
Company any and all Company Inventions (as defined below). Employee hereby assigns, and agrees
during the Employment Period and thereafter to assign, to the Company all of Employee’s right,
title and interest in any Company Inventions and in any and all applications and registrations for
any form of intellectual property applicable to any Company Inventions. Employee acknowledges that
all Company Inventions consisting of Works are intended to be “works made for hire”, as that term
is defined in Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976 (the “Act”), and will be
automatically the sole property of the Company within the meaning of the Act. If the copyright to
any such Works will not be the property of the Company by operation of law, Employee will, without
further consideration, assign to the Company all of my right, title and interest in such the
copyright to such Works. Employee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all claims to
moral rights in any Company Inventions.

(i) “Company Inventions” will mean any and all Inventions and Works in whole or in part
conceived, made or reduced to practice by Employee (either solely or in conjunction with others)
during or after the Employment Period that (A) are made through the use of any of the Company’s
Confidential Information, Company Inventions, equipment, facilities, supplies, funds or
proprietary rights or other property of the Company, (B) relate to the Company’s business or the
Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development or business, or (C) result
from any work performed by Employee for the Company.

(ii) “Inventions” will mean any ideas, designs, concepts, techniques, inventions and
discoveries, whether or not patentable or protectable by copyright and whether or not reduced to
practice, including, but not limited to, devices, processes, methods, techniques, algorithms,
trade secrets, and know-how.

(iii) “Works” will mean any and all original works of authorship in any written, electronic,
video, or audio records (or any other tangible medium, existing now or in the future, on which
information is fixed), including without limitation all mask works, software, computer files,
computer programs (in both object and source code), computer interfaces, documentation, and
databases together with any improvements thereon or thereto, derivative works therefrom.

(iv) “Prior Inventions” will mean any and all Inventions made, conceived or first reduced to
practice by Employee, under Employee’s direction or jointly with others prior to Employee’s
employment with the Company, which Employee owns or controls, either solely or jointly with
others.

(v) Employee represents that the attached Schedule B contains a complete list of all Prior
Inventions which Employee desires to exclude from assignment to the Company hereunder. If there
is no such Schedule B attached hereto, or if it is left blank, Employee represents that there
are no such Prior Inventions. Employee agrees that, if in the course of my employment with the
Company, Employee incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention or

 

 

Work owned by Employee or in which Employee has an interest (regardless whether such Prior
Invention is listed on Schedule B), or if the manufacture, use, sale, or import of any Company
product or machine or the practice of any Company process would infringe any such Prior
Invention or Work, the Company will automatically be granted and will have a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual world-wide license under such
Prior Invention or Work to make, have made, modify, use, import, and/or sell such Company
product or machine or to practice such process or Prior Invention or Work.

(vi) Employee will keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes,
sketches, drawings or such other form(s) as may be specified by the Company) of all Company
Inventions made by Employee during the Employment Period or thereafter (including but not
limited to information relating to all Company Inventions which belong exclusively to the
Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(a)), which records will be available at all
times to the Company and will remain the sole property of the Company. In the event that (A)
any Company Invention is made, conceived of or reduced to practice by Employee, either solely or
in conjunction with others, during the Employment Period, or (B) any Company Invention is made,
conceived of or reduced to practice by Employee after the Employment Period which belongs
exclusively to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(a), Employee will
promptly give notice and fully disclose in writing such Company Invention to the Chairman of the
Board and the Board of Directors of the Company.

(vii) Employee will assist the Company (at the Company’s expense), either during or subsequent
to the Employment Period, to obtain and enforce for the Company’s benefit, patents, copyrights,
and mask work protection in any country for any and all Company Inventions made by Employee, in
whole or in part, the rights to which belong to or have been assigned to the Company pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof. Employee agrees to execute all applications,
assignments, instruments and papers and perform all acts as the Company or its counsel may deem
necessary or desirable to obtain any patents, copyrights or mask work protection in such Company
Inventions and otherwise to protect the interests of the Company therein. In the event the
Company is unable to secure Employee’s signature on any document necessary to apply for,
prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to
any Company Invention, whether due to mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, Employed
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers
and agents as Employee’s agents and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Employee’s 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 right or
protections with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Employee.

          9. (Removed and Reserved).

          10. Enforcement by Injunction.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be immediately, substantially and
irreparably damaged if Employee fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9.
Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to bring action in court for (i) an injunction or any
other appropriate decree of specific performance (without the necessity of posting any bond or
other security in connection therewith) in case of any breach or threatened breach of Employee’s
covenants and obligations under Sections 7, 8 or 9, (ii) damages in an amount equal to all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by
Employee (or any associated party deriving such benefits, including but not limited to any future
employer of Employee) as a result of any such breach of Employee’s covenants and obligations under
Sections 7, 8 or 9, and (iii) indemnification against any other losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the Company in obtaining
any damages and/or injunctive relief as set forth in subsections (i) or (ii) above. Such remedies
will not be exclusive and will be in addition to any other remedy, at law or in equity, which the
Company may have for any breach or threatened breach of Sections 7, 8 or 9 by Employee. Any action
permitted under this Section 10 may be brought in any court having jurisdiction of the parties, and
the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of Massachusetts
and the Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts for that purpose. Employee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Employee of covenants and obligations under this
Agreement will cause damage to the Company in Massachusetts and that consent to jurisdiction and
venue in Massachusetts is reasonable and fair.

 

 

          11. Notices.

Any and all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given under any of the
provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when
personally delivered, (b) on the third business day after deposit in the U.S. mail (certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), (c) on the next day business day after
timely delivery to an overnight courier, or (d) upon confirmation of receipt by facsimile or
e-mail; in each case addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below their signatures
hereto (or at such other address as any party may specify by notice to all other parties given as
aforesaid).

          12. Arbitration.

Except with respect to remedies and rights set forth in Section 10, any dispute or controversy
arising under this Agreement or concerning Employee’s employment with the Company (including,
without limitation, any controversy as to the arbitrability of any dispute), including but not
limited to any claims arising out of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and/or Massachusetts General
Laws Chapter 151B, will be settled exclusively by arbitration to be held in Boston, Massachusetts,
before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect relating to the arbitration of employment disputes. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction, and the parties irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction of the Massachusetts courts for that purpose.

          13. Miscellaneous.

     (a) If any provision of Sections 7, 8 or 9 is held to be unenforceable or overly broad, it is
the intention of the parties that the court or tribunal making such determination will modify such
provision so that the provision will be enforceable to the broadest extent permitted under the law,
and that such provision will then be applicable in such modified form. The provisions of the
various limitations in Sections 7, 8 and 9 will be construed to be cumulative, and the scope or
interpretation of one limitation will not be construed to nullify or reduce the limiting effect of
another limitation.

     (b) (Removed and Reserved).

     (c) To the extent, if any, that Employee possesses or has knowledge of information that is
proprietary to a third party or that is subject to confidentiality restrictions properly placed
upon it by a third party that would prevent Company from having access to such information
(collectively “Third Party Information”), Employee will not disclose such information to Company or
to any Company personnel nor will Employee use such information in the conduct of Employee’s
employment hereunder. Employee’s duties hereunder expressly exclude use or disclosure of such
information. Company expressly disclaims any request or requirement that Employee disclose or use
Third Party Information in connection with employment hereunder; and, if Employee encounters such
request or requirement, Employee will not make such disclosure or use but will instead promptly
report such request or requirement to the Company’s acting compliance officer.

     (d) To the extent that Employee has been employed or retained by any third party in the past
whereby Employee has come into possession of Third Party Information, Employee warrants and
represents that Employee’s duties for Company as they have been described by Company in negotiation
of this Agreement are not substantially similar to those duties that Employee undertook for any
such third party such that any Third Party Information would naturally, necessarily or inevitably
be used or disclosed by Employee in performing his or her duties for the Company.

     (e) Employee warrants and represents to the Company that Employee is not party to any
agreement or understanding (including but not limited to any non-compete, non-disclosure,
non-solicitation or similar agreement) that would prohibit, restrict or impair the ability of
Employee to work in any capacity or position at the Company.

     (f) Any and all undertakings by the Company in this Agreement (including Schedule A or any
amendment of Schedule A) with respect to any future grant of shares or options to purchase shares
of stock of the Company are undertakings only to recommend such grant to the Board of Directors or
its designee; and, all such grants are subject to and contingent upon separate prior approval of
the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee

 

 

(which approval may be withheld for any
reason or for no reason), subject to determination by the Board of Directors or its designee with
respect to strike price and vesting schedule and subject to the terms and conditions in the
Company’s applicable stock option or stock benefit plan and in the Company’s stock option or stock
benefit agreement forms that are current at the time of approval. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement or any other document or statement to the contrary, no grant to Employee of any
option to purchase shares of stock of the Company will be deemed compensation for past work or for
past performance of Employee under any circumstances but will instead be solely an incentive to
potential future performance from the date of vesting forward of such right; and, Employee will
have no rights, entitlement or expectation of rights with respect to any such option or with
respect to the stock subject to any such option except as explicitly set forth in the Company’s
applicable stock option plan and stock option agreement forms.

     (g) This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written agreement signed
by all parties hereto, provided however that compensation levels may be adjusted by assent of the
parties, which assent of Company will be in writing and signed on behalf of Company stating the
adjusted level and which assent of Employee may be established by acceptance by Employee of
compensation at such adjusted level.

     (h) This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their
respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company
may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business, provided, however, that the
obligations of the Employee are personal and will not be assigned by him or her.

     (i) No waiver by the Company of any breach or default hereunder will be considered valid
unless in writing signed by all parties hereto, and no such waiver will be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default of a similar nature.

     (j) If any provisions of this Agreement will be held unenforceable, such unenforceability will
attach only to such provisions and will not render unenforceable any other severable provisions of
this Agreement, and this Agreement will be carried out as if any such unenforceable provisions were
not contained herein, unless the unenforceability of such provisions substantially impairs the
benefits of the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     (k) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed
one original.

     (l) This Agreement will be deemed to be a contract that is made in Massachusetts, under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and, for all purposes this Agreement will be construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of Massachusetts, without regard to conflicts of
laws principles, provided that to the extent permitted by Federal law the provisions for
arbitration hereunder will be under and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of
the date first above written.

with all applicable Company policies and procedures, including but not limited to documentation of
non-disclosure and confidentiality obligations; and, (ii) limited to the amount of information
necessary for the reason or purpose justifying the disclosure or use. After the Employment Period,
Employee will not disclose or

 

 

use Confidential Information without prior written consent of the Company that explicitly
specifies the disclosure or use; and, any such disclosure or use will be subject to all obligations
and restrictions set forth in this Agreement as if made during the Employment Period. Both during
the Employment Period and at all times thereafter Employee will not render any services to any
person, firm, corporation, association or other entity to whom any such Confidential Information,
in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed contrary to the provisions
of this Section 7(d). This Section 7(d) will not apply to the extent Employee is required to
disclose any Confidential Information by applicable law or legal process provided that Employee
promptly notifies the Company of such pending disclosure and consults with and cooperates with the
Company prior to such disclosure concerning the advisability of seeking a protective order or other
means of preserving the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

     8. Company Inventions.

     (a) During the Employment Period and thereafter, Employee will disclose promptly to the
Company any and all Company Inventions (as defined below). Employee hereby assigns, and agrees
during the Employment Period and thereafter to assign, to the Company all of Employee’s right,
title and interest in any Company Inventions and in any and all applications and registrations for
any form of intellectual property applicable to any Company Inventions. Employee acknowledges that
all Company Inventions consisting of Works are intended to be “works made for hire”, as that term
is defined in Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976 (the “Act”), and will be
automatically the sole property of the Company within the meaning of the Act. If the copyright to
any such Works will not be the property of the Company by operation of law, Employee will, without
further consideration, assign to the Company all of my right, title and interest in such the
copyright to such Works. Employee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, all claims to
moral rights in any Company Inventions.

(i) “Company Inventions” will mean any and all Inventions and Works in whole or in part
conceived, made or reduced to practice by Employee (either solely or in conjunction with others)
during or after the Employment Period that (A) are made through the use of any of the Company’s
Confidential Information, Company Inventions, equipment, facilities, supplies, funds or
proprietary rights or other property of the Company, (B) relate to the Company’s business or the
Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development or business, or (C) result
from any work performed by Employee for the Company.

(ii) “Inventions” will mean any ideas, designs, concepts, techniques, inventions and
discoveries, whether or not patentable or protectable by copyright and whether or not reduced to
practice, including, but not limited to, devices, processes, methods, techniques, algorithms,
trade secrets, and know-how.

(iii) “Works” will mean any and all original works of authorship in any written, electronic,
video, or audio records (or any other tangible medium, existing now or in the future, on which
information is fixed), including without limitation all mask works, software, computer files,
computer programs (in both object and source code), computer interfaces, documentation, and
databases together with any improvements thereon or thereto, derivative works therefrom.

(iv) “Prior Inventions” will mean any and all Inventions made, conceived or first reduced to
practice by Employee, under Employee’s direction or jointly with others prior to Employee’s
employment with the Company, which Employee owns or controls, either solely or jointly with
others.

(v) Employee represents that the attached Schedule B contains a complete list of all Prior
Inventions which Employee desires to exclude from assignment to the Company hereunder. If there
is no such Schedule B attached hereto, or if it is left blank, Employee represents that there
are no such Prior Inventions. Employee agrees that, if in the course of my employment with the
Company, Employee incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention or
Work owned by Employee or in which Employee has an interest (regardless whether such Prior
Invention is listed on Schedule B), or if the manufacture, use, sale, or import of any Company
product or machine or the practice of any Company process would infringe any such Prior
Invention or Work, the Company will automatically be granted and will have a non-exclusive,
royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual world-wide license under such
Prior Invention or

 

 

Work to make, have made, modify, use, import, and/or sell such Company product or machine or to
practice such process or Prior Invention or Work.

(vi) Employee will keep and maintain adequate and current written records (in the form of notes,
sketches, drawings or such other form(s) as may be specified by the Company) of all Company
Inventions made by Employee during the Employment Period or thereafter (including but not
limited to information relating to all Company Inventions which belong exclusively to the
Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(a)), which records will be available at all
times to the Company and will remain the sole property of the Company. In the event that (A)
any Company Invention is made, conceived of or reduced to practice by Employee, either solely or
in conjunction with others, during the Employment Period, or (B) any Company Invention is made,
conceived of or reduced to practice by Employee after the Employment Period which belongs
exclusively to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(a), Employee will
promptly give notice and fully disclose in writing such Company Invention to the Chairman of the
Board and the Board of Directors of the Company.

(vii) Employee will assist the Company (at the Company’s expense), either during or subsequent
to the Employment Period, to obtain and enforce for the Company’s benefit, patents, copyrights,
and mask work protection in any country for any and all Company Inventions made by Employee, in
whole or in part, the rights to which belong to or have been assigned to the Company pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof. Employee agrees to execute all applications,
assignments, instruments and papers and perform all acts as the Company or its counsel may deem
necessary or desirable to obtain any patents, copyrights or mask work protection in such Company
Inventions and otherwise to protect the interests of the Company therein. In the event the
Company is unable to secure Employee’s signature on any document necessary to apply for,
prosecute, obtain, or enforce any patent, copyright, or other right or protection relating to
any Company Invention, whether due to mental or physical incapacity or any other cause, Employed
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers
and agents as Employee’s agents and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in Employee’s 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 right or
protections with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Employee.

     9. Covenant Against Competition; Non-Solicitation.

Employee covenants and agrees that:

     (a) During the Non-Compete Period (as hereinafter defined), Employee shall not: (i) engage in
any business competitive in the Geographic Area (as hereinafter defined) with the Company Business
(as hereinafter defined), (ii) render any services in any capacity to any person or entity engaged
in any business competitive in the Geographic Area with the Company Business; or, (iii) be or
become the Affiliate of any business competitive in the Geographic Area with the Company Business.

     (b) During the Non-Compete Period and for an additional 12 months, Employee shall not, without
the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any other
person or entity, solicit or encourage any Employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
leave the employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or hire any Employee who has left the
employment of the Company or any of its Affiliates within one year of the termination of such
Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates.

     (c) During the Non-Compete Period, Employee shall not, in the Geographic Area, directly or
indirectly: (i) solicit or encourage any customer or client of the Company to purchase or use
services or items competitive with the Company Business; (ii) accept orders or business competitive
with the Company Business with respect to any customer or client of the Company or offer or agree
to provide services competitive with the Company Business to any customer or client of the Company;
or (iii) solicit or encourage any person or entity with which Employee had contact on behalf of the
Company to purchase or use services or items of a business competitive with the Company Business.

     (d) As used herein:

 

 

(i) A person or entity is an “Affiliate” of another if: (a) it directly or indirectly controls,
is controlled by, or is under common control with the other; (b) it directly or indirectly owns
any interest in the other (except as a passive investment of less than 5% interest of an entity
that is traded on a national securities exchange), is owned in any part by or shares common
ownership in any part with the other; (c) it is a joint venturer, partner, director, officer,
principal, manager, member, agent, or trustee of the other or associated with the other in any
other capacity in which it owes to the other any fiduciary duty or duty of fidelity; or, (d) it
holds itself out as providing a joint, coordinated or integrated service, item or combination of
service(s) and item(s) with the other.

(ii) “Company Business” includes the services and items developed or sold by the Company during
the Employment Period. Company Business will also include services and items planned by the
Company during the Employment period to be developed or sold by it if Employee has been
materially involved in such planning, development or sale. Without limiting the foregoing
definition, Company Business includes the business of providing, selling, contracting for or
arranging for provision, in whole or in part, of medical revenue cycle or medical record
software, software functionality or services.

(iii) Without limitation, a business, service or item will be deemed competitive with the
Company Business if a reasonable customer or client of that competitive business, service, item
would on account of such business, service or item likely forego all or any material part of the
services or items included in the Company Business.

(iv) “Geographic Area” will be the United States.

(v) “Non-Compete Period” will mean the period during which Employee is employed by the Company
and an additional period equal to six months immediately following the termination of Employee’s
employment with the Company, provided that if Employee has been employed for more than six
months by the Company, the additional period following termination will be one year.

     10. Enforcement by Injunction.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be immediately, substantially and
irreparably damaged if Employee fails to comply with the provisions of Sections 7, 8 or 9.
Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to bring action in court for (i) an injunction or any
other appropriate decree of specific performance (without the necessity of posting any bond or
other security in connection therewith) in case of any breach or threatened breach of Employee’s
covenants and obligations under Sections 7, 8 or 9, (ii) damages in an amount equal to all
compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by
Employee (or any associated party deriving such benefits, including but not limited to any future
employer of Employee) as a result of any such breach of Employee’s covenants and obligations under
Sections 7, 8 or 9, and (iii) indemnification against any other losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the Company in obtaining
any damages and/or injunctive relief as set forth in subsections (i) or (ii) above. Such remedies
will not be exclusive and will be in addition to any other remedy, at law or in equity, which the
Company may have for any breach or threatened breach of Sections 7, 8 or 9 by Employee. Any action
permitted under this Section 10 may be brought in any court having jurisdiction of the parties, and
the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of Massachusetts
and the Federal District Court for the District of Massachusetts for that purpose. Employee hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any breach by Employee of covenants and obligations under this
Agreement will cause damage to the Company in Massachusetts and that consent to jurisdiction and
venue in Massachusetts is reasonable and fair.

     11. Notices.

Any and all notices or other communications required or permitted to be given under any of the
provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) when
personally delivered, (b) on the third business day after deposit in the U.S. mail (certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), (c) on the next day business day after
timely delivery to an overnight courier, or (d) upon confirmation of receipt by facsimile or
e-mail; in each case addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below their signatures
hereto (or at such other address as any party may specify by notice to all other parties given as
aforesaid).

 

 

     12. Arbitration.

Except with respect to remedies and rights set forth in Section 10, any dispute or controversy
arising under this Agreement or concerning Employee’s employment with the Company (including,
without limitation, any controversy as to the arbitrability of any dispute), including but not
limited to any claims arising out of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and/or Massachusetts General
Laws Chapter 151B, will be settled exclusively by arbitration to be held in Boston, Massachusetts,
before a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
then in effect relating to the arbitration of employment disputes. Judgment may be entered on the
arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction, and the parties irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction of the Massachusetts courts for that purpose.

     13. Miscellaneous.

     (a) If any provision of Sections 7, 8 or 9 is held to be unenforceable or overly broad, it is
the intention of the parties that the court or tribunal making such determination will modify such
provision so that the provision will be enforceable to the broadest extent permitted under the law,
and that such provision will then be applicable in such modified form. The provisions of the
various limitations in Sections 7, 8 and 9 will be construed to be cumulative, and the scope or
interpretation of one limitation will not be construed to nullify or reduce the limiting effect of
another limitation.

     (b) Employee warrants and agrees that the restrictions set forth in Section 9 are reasonable
and necessary to preserve to the Company valuable proprietary and confidential information that
gives the Company advantage over its competitors and that violation by Employee of that Section
will naturally, necessarily and inevitably result in the disclosure of such information to the
competitors of the Company, to its irreparable and material damage.

     (c) To the extent, if any, that Employee possesses or has knowledge of information that is
proprietary to a third party or that is subject to confidentiality restrictions properly placed
upon it by a third party that would prevent Company from having access to such information
(collectively “Third Party Information”), Employee will not disclose such information to Company or
to any Company personnel nor will Employee use such information in the conduct of Employee’s
employment hereunder. Employee’s duties hereunder expressly exclude use or disclosure of such
information. Company expressly disclaims any request or requirement that Employee disclose or use
Third Party Information in connection with employment hereunder; and, if Employee encounters such
request or requirement, Employee will not make such disclosure or use but will instead promptly
report such request or requirement to the Company’s acting compliance officer.

     (d) To the extent that Employee has been employed or retained by any third party in the past
whereby Employee has come into possession of Third Party Information, Employee warrants and
represents that Employee’s duties for Company as they have been described by Company in negotiation
of this Agreement are not substantially similar to those duties that Employee undertook for any
such third party such that any Third Party Information would naturally, necessarily or inevitably
be used or disclosed by Employee in performing his or her duties for the Company.

     (e) Employee warrants and represents to the Company that Employee is not party to any
agreement or understanding (including but not limited to any non-compete, non-disclosure,
non-solicitation or similar agreement) that would prohibit, restrict or impair the ability of
Employee to work in any capacity or position at the Company.

     (f) Any and all undertakings by the Company in this Agreement (including Schedule A or any
amendment of Schedule A) with respect to any future grant of shares or options to purchase shares
of stock of the Company are undertakings only to recommend such grant to the Board of Directors or
its designee; and, all such grants are subject to and contingent upon separate prior approval of
the Board of Directors of the Company or its designee (which approval may be withheld for any
reason or for no reason), subject to determination by the Board of Directors or its designee with
respect to strike price and vesting schedule and subject to the terms and conditions in the
Company’s applicable stock option or stock benefit plan and in the Company’s stock option or stock
benefit agreement forms that are current at the time of approval. Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement or any other document or statement to the contrary, no grant to Employee of any
option to purchase

 

 

shares of stock of the Company will be deemed compensation for past work or for past
performance of Employee under any circumstances but will instead be solely an incentive to
potential future performance from the date of vesting forward of such right; and, Employee will
have no rights, entitlement or expectation of rights with respect to any such option or with
respect to the stock subject to any such option except as explicitly set forth in the Company’s
applicable stock option plan and stock option agreement forms.

     (g) This writing constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written agreement signed
by all parties hereto, provided however that compensation levels may be adjusted by assent of the
parties, which assent of Company will be in writing and signed on behalf of Company stating the
adjusted level and which assent of Employee may be established by acceptance by Employee of
compensation at such adjusted level.

     (h) This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their
respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company
may be merged or which may succeed to the Company’s assets or business, provided, however, that the
obligations of the Employee are personal and will not be assigned by him or her.

     (i) No waiver by the Company of any breach or default hereunder will be considered valid
unless in writing signed by all parties hereto, and no such waiver will be deemed a waiver of any
subsequent breach or default of a similar nature.

     (j) If any provisions of this Agreement will be held unenforceable, such unenforceability will
attach only to such provisions and will not render unenforceable any other severable provisions of
this Agreement, and this Agreement will be carried out as if any such unenforceable provisions were
not contained herein, unless the unenforceability of such provisions substantially impairs the
benefits of the remaining portions of this Agreement.

     (k) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed
one original.

     (l) This Agreement will be deemed to be a contract that is made in Massachusetts, under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and, for all purposes this Agreement will be construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of Massachusetts, without regard to conflicts of
laws principles, provided that to the extent permitted by Federal law the provisions for
arbitration hereunder will be under and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of
the date first above written.
