Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as a partner, employee, creditor, stockholder, or otherwise, promote, participate, or engage in any activity or other business which is directly competitive to the current operations of the Company or the currently contemplated future operations of the Company. The obligation of Executive not to compete with the Company shall not prohibit Executive from owning or purchasing more than a five percent (5%) beneficial interest in any securities that are regularly traded on a recognized stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market subject to relevant federal and state securities laws.

Should any portion of this Section be deemed unenforceable because of the scope, duration or territory encompassed by the undertakings of the Executive hereunder, and only in such event, then the Executive and the Company consent and agree to such limitation on scope, duration or territory as may be finally adjudicated as enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all appeals.
8.2 Non-Solicitation of Customers. While employed by the Company, Executive shall not divert or attempt to divert (by solicitation or other means), whether directly or indirectly, the Company’s customers for the purpose of inducing or encouraging them to sever their relationship with the Company or to solicit them in connection with any product or service competing with those products and services offered and sold by the Company.

Executive agrees that these restrictions shall also apply to (i) trade secrets belonging to third parties in Company’s possession and (ii) trade secrets conceived, originated, discovered or developed by Executive during the Term of this Agreement relating to the affairs of the Company.
10. Inventions; Ownership Rights. Executive agrees that all ideas, techniques, inventions, systems, formulas, designs, discoveries, technical information, programs, prototypes and similar developments (“Inventions”) developed, created, discovered, made, written or obtained by Executive in the course of or as a result of performance of his duties hereunder, and all related industrial property, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patent rights, moral rights, trade secrets and other forms of protection thereof, shall be and remain the sole property of the Company and its assigns. Executive shall promptly disclose to Company, or any persons designated by it, all Inventions, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Executive, either alone or jointly with others, during the Term which are related to or useful in the business of the Company, or result from tasks assigned to Executive by the Company, or result from use of premises owned, leased or contracted by the Company. Such disclosure shall continue for one year after termination of employment with respect to anything that would be an Invention if made, conceived, reduced to practice or learned prior to termination of employment. Executive agrees to execute or cause to be executed such assignments and applications, registrations and other documents and to take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to protect its rights to any such Inventions. If the Company requires Executive’s assistance in executing or causing to be executed such assignments and applications, registrations and other documents under this Section (all of which shall be prepared at the expense of the Company) after termination of this Agreement, Executive shall do so at mutually convenient times and places and be compensated for his time actually spent in providing such assistance at a reasonable hourly rate as agreed upon by the parties and be reimbursed for any necessary expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, reasonably incurred in doing so. In the event that the Company is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure Executive's signature to any lawful and necessary document required to apply for or execute any such documents with respect to Inventions (including renewals, extension, continuations, divisions or continuations in part thereof), Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents, as Executive's agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in his behalf and instead of him, to execute and file any such application and document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect thereto with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Executive. As a matter of record Executive has identified beneath his signature hereto a complete list of all inventions or improvements relevant to the subject matter of his employment by the Company which have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by him alone or jointly with others prior to his employment by the Company ("Prior Inventions") which Executive desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement; and Executive covenants that such list is complete. Executive agrees and acknowledges that in further consideration of his employment under this Agreement, in the absence of such list of Prior Inventions, all Prior Inventions shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and Executive agrees to execute or cause to be executed such assignments and applications, registrations and other documents and to take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the Company to enable the Company to protect its rights to any such Prior Inventions.
11. Indemnification. In the event Executive or his estate or executors becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether or not by or in the right of Company, and whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, by reason of Executive's performance of Executive's duties hereunder or the fact that Executive is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, hold the Executive harmless from and against any claim, loss or cause of action arising from or relating thereto; provided, however, that the indemnity provided under this Section shall not apply with respect to any liability or matter arising from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for any breach of the Executive’s duty of loyalty to the Company, or for any transaction from which the Executive derived an improper personal benefit. If any claim is asserted against the Executive for which the Executive reasonably believes in good faith he is entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Company shall, at its option and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) assume the defense thereof or (ii) pay the Executive’s reasonable legal expenses (or cause such expenses to be paid) on a quarterly basis, if the Company does not so assume the defense; provided, that the Executive shall reimburse the Company for such amounts if the Executive shall be found by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder. Executive shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in the defense of any such threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding. The Company's indemnity obligations and duties as set forth in this shall survive indefinitely the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
